This is a great space for privacy, cleanliness, having practically everything a studio apartment would, and a lot of little thoughtful details. It is chilly down there in the winter months, but they do provide plenty of blankets and a little space heater. You can also hear all of the walking around upstairs, but they retreat to the upper floor during normal sleeping hours, so it really was no problem. They provided very well for guests, from kitchenware to a small frig, from an electric kettle to ramen and snacks. (Which ended up being very handy since our restaurant delivery was really delayed.) Especially for the price, it was a great place and we absolutely recommend it.
