There is a large German Shepard periodically on the property, which I found an unpleasant surprise to be confronted by. The basement apartment is poorly lit giving it a gloomy feel. There is also no air conditioning that I could see, two windows and limited fresh air circulation without the use of numerous fans. The ceilings are quite low, and you can hear people walking around upstairs (clumping about at 6am in the morning in once instance). Otherwise, it is comfortable for a few nights, with good washing and cooking facilities and in an excellent location.
