I would not recommend staying here during the summer. No AC, or even a fan, was brutal in 95+ degrees with 100% humidity in the middle of July. I actually went out and bought a fan just so that I could fall asleep. The stairs to enter the basement apartment are steep and narrow making it hard to haul luggage up and down them. I was supposed to be here for a month and ended up staying only 3 weeks. Think it would be a whole lot more comfortable during the winter months. The kitchenette consists of a microwave, fridge, a few plates, bowls, and cups and that's it! So if you want to make salads or anything else make sure to bring your own kitchen gear, eg. can opener, cutting board, kitchen knife, ect. All that being said, it is clean and spacious, in a good neighborhood, and easy walking distance to grocery stores and CVS.
