The unit is in the basement but is only half underground, so there are windows with natural light. It’s a pretty basic set up, but I had everything I needed and the price was very reasonable. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I was easily able to get there from the airport via public transportation at the low fare of $2.50. One thing to note, is the ceiling is low in the stairwell and in part of the apartment. You just have to remember to duck is you’re taller than about 5’8”.
