True to what's advertised, it is a private basement all to yourself. large and great spacing, comfortable room and a large living and dining area. good location, just a 10 minute walk from the L train in a quiet neighborhood. I enjoyed my stay but only 2 complaints. I wish the wifi was better, it only worked in the kitchen/dining room and not in the bedroom at all. cell service is almost non existent in the basement so yu have to rely on wifi. The other thing was that there were roaches there. On the first night we saw them in the kitchen when suddenly turning on the light and found a big one on its back alive in the tub on day 2. I hope the hosts can correct this as this location is great value for money.
