Angie and Donella were extremely responsive and helpful. Ten stars for them. The space just wasn't what I was expecting. It's a dark basement space with not a lot of natural daylight and low ceilings. The photos are accurate, so it's not like anyone is trying to trick you, but it doesn't quite capture the actual feel of the space. The main source of lighting in the kitchen/sleeping area is a very harsh fluorescent ceiling light. More incandescent lamps would help a lot. The outdoor deck steps up and the indoor steps down to the apartment are very worn and not for those without very steady feet. There are also some slight dips in the floor in the apartment that might catch you off guard. The vintage appliances are interesting (I didn't use them), but are matched with an overall sense of furnishings that are a little worse for wear. I wanted so much to like everything, and the hosts were so responsive and helpful, but this was not a great fit for me.
