I almost don't want to write a review so that this unit doesn't fill up, but it was truly wonderful. The number one question I have with Basement units is how much *can* you really hear from upstairs and how much light does it get. The answer is: Never any voices and maybe twice we heard the pitter patter of a little child. The unit gets a wonderful amount of light, since it's sloped. Fully equipped and wonderful location. It's on a hill and there are 8-9 stairs to climb to get to the unit, so if you're bringing 5 trunks from your around-to-world voyage...you'll be huffing and puffing to get them into the unit. But everyone else should be fine ;)
