Pros:
-immaculately clean!
-pretty well-equipped kitchen for cooking basic meals
-easy street parking and walkable to some good restaurants and coffee shops (Pine State Biscuits yummm)
-super comfy bed
-easy street parking
-kind and responsive hosts
-tall ceilings and great light for a basement apartment (I lived in one for years, this one has great natural light!)
- good internet connectivity with no issues
Cons:
-dangerous pipes sticking out out the floor in the main walkway of the bathroom (not pictured) that my husband banged his foot on
-narrow layout means there's no real place to lounge -- the built-in seating isn't very comfortable for playing games or watching TV (we found it more comfortable to just lay on the floor to watch a movie). the bedroom is also really narrow, so you have to squeeze past the end of the bed when walking to the desk
-really cold in the winter -- but take this with a grain of salt since we were there during a cold snap. it was hard to get the space warm, even with the heater turned up pretty high. it was especially cold in the bedroom since there is only one heater and it's not in the bedroom.
-sounds from upstairs carry through to the apartment really easily, we could hear footsteps and voices when the owners were on the first floor, starting from about 6am
