its an older basement but big enough for 4 people and a nice place to stay. It was private for us, but the only recommendation that I would have for Anne is to add a lock on the basement door, so that the guests can use/lock based on their discretion. The entry to the basement was through the kitchen, which was not a problem. Good neighborhood, and the kitchen amenities ( toaster, kettle, tea, chocolate, refrigerator) was very useful. We felt like being at home. Beds were clean, and it was a pleasure to meet Anne and her wonderful daughter.
