For how much I paid I expected a better place. The couch was so cheap and uncomfortable. Also, if the host were in a room next to the basement door I could hear everything they could say. Everything... word for word. Which made me feel that they could hear everything I could say. In all honesty, this place was not a good place to stay for longterm guests. (you don't get much privacy from your upstairs hosts.) But if you are staying for a short while it could be worth it because of the safe and nice location.
