This basement apartment is very tastefully decorated with a lot more room (and windows) than the pictures show. It literally has everything you could need while away from home. The kitchen was well stocked with all you need to cook, etc. The bathroom had lots of big fluffy towels and plenty of toilet paper (sounds odd to say, but we've had to ask at other places). There are extra blankets and a place to hang your clothes in the bedroom. The washer and dryer (no extra charge) was a nice touch, since we were there almost a week. It was a very short walk (about 1-2minutes) to Hawthorne Ave. where there are tons of restaurants, shops, grocery, etc. Lauren kept in communication before, during, and after our stay. She and Shad were very welcoming. The surprise in the refrigerator for us was much appreciated! Would definitely stay again!
