We spent one month in Merrily and Todd's sweet basement apartment and could not have loved it more! It really does not feel like a below ground unit at all - lots of windows and light! The apartment truly had everything we needed for our stay - full and well-stocked kitchen, super comfy couch and dining space, and the most comfortable bed ever!! Merrily and Todd were readily available whenever we needed fresh linens and towels, etc. They are the sweetest couple! They have a beautiful home in a great neighborhood and we feel so lucky to have been able to enjoy a slice of their space for the whole month of December!
