This basement apartment was filled with light, nicely decorated and very clean. The hosts were communicative, helpful and friendly. They are very considerate of the guest experience, leaving plenty of travel books around, offering to stock the fridge with milk for the complimentary coffee, and even a bar of chocolate waiting for me when I arrived. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet and has plenty of restaurants and entertainment within walkable distance. The space doesn't feel incredibly secluded at first because of the windowed door into the area and you can hear the hosts moving about on the hardwood floors upstairs. But the space is actually quite private. The comfy hypoallergenic bedding and concrete flooring was a nice bonus for me as an allergy sufferer.
