It was very clean, had a separate entrance which allowed more privacy and had a lot of space in the basement. It had everything that I needed. The parking was great, never had to search for a parking space like other areas in Capital Hill. Note that there are no kitchen privileges since the kitchen is on the second floor. I wasn't aware of this so I brought a few food items. She was kind enough to let me use her frig but the way her set up is it is better to stay in your own space in the basement.
