It was fun breaking in this newly remodeled basement apartment that had been so thoughtfully and artistically furnished and decorated. The location was perfect for us because we like to get our walks in everyday and Alberta Street shops as well as Whole Foods and shops on Williams Street were just right. Fresh eggs from their back yard were so good. The majority of the basement ceiling is not insulated, so sounds carry. It was never a problem for my wife and when I used the provided ear plugs at night (we turned in early) it was not a problem for me. We are in our 60s and are looking forward to returning in the future.
