We had an excellent stay! (One couple + dog). The location really can't be beat - can walk to multiple areas with restaurants, shops, bars (Division and Hawthorne), a park less than 2 blocks away as well. It felt very safe and like a nice neighborhood with friendly people.
The basement apartment does have slightly low ceilings, as one would expect. You can hear a good bit from what sounds like the living room/dining room if people are there, but otherwise was quiet, relaxed, comfortable. Bed was comfy, too.
The Ipod was quite eclectic, which we actually really enjoyed!
Bathroom newly remodeled, it seemed - great look, water pressure was awesome.
Would stay here again!
