The place is very much as advertised. It was very comfortable. It was large enough for me to entertain a guest (my daughter) Christmas Day. For that I used the mini-fridge and microwave. I also used the coffee maker once I figured out that it was extremely simple to use despite its somewhat intimidating appearance. As the pictures show, the private bathroom is unfinished, separated from the owner's space in the basement by only a thick plastic curtain. The owners did not use the basement while I was there -- otherwise it may have felt a bit less private.
