Small windowless room in a basement apartment. Communication with host and housekeeper was prompt, friendly, and professional. Check-in was perfect. I had to leave after one night as I have a strong allergy and the listing for the room said I would have no contact with the cats. Nevertheless, Carlene was kind and prompt with dealing with this issue. There is no access to the backyard. The kitchen has everything one would need. I would not recommend this listing for lightsleepers however only for those who are spending their days out-and-about and come home looking to sleep and know that they sleep deeply as the walls are thin and correspondingly it gets noisy.
