Even though this is a basement guesthouse, it feels bright, airy and clean! It is also much larger than I anticipated. The coffee and tea were nice unexpected perks, the backyard garden is gorgeous and the entryway is well-lit at night. If you are a light sleeper or not used to apartment living, you might need to use the earplugs that the host thoughtfully supplies. (I'm used to living below someone, so I was not disturbed). This is a nice, quiet neighborhood for those who need a space to work, but also only a few blocks away from nice neighborhood bars and restaurants.
