Colleen and Scott's place is newly remodeled, with high ceilings and warm floors so it doesn't feel cold or claustrophobic like many basement units. There was a little sound bleed from above, but it wasn't obtrusive. Everything about the place has a high quality feel to it; we loved the little touches like the hand made bed headboard, flush floor shower, and grinding our own coffee in the morning. There is no TV but all the cool books in the little library kept us entertained.
The location is great - minutes to east end of Hawthorne and Mt. Tabor park. We would definitely stay here again.
