Sam's place does not feel like a basement/lower level apartment. There is so much natural light and great touches to the entire place. The heated floors in the bathroom are amazing! and the well equipped eat-in kitchen helped with some of our impromptu take out dinners we had at the end of the trip. If you are renting a car, we had zero problem parking in the neighborhood this time of year. We would definitely recommend this place to friends, so book it now!
