We normally rent places that give the whole house to ourselves because we know kids aren't perfect at keeping quiet and walking with soft steps, which can bother others when sharing living spaces. When I booked I missed seeing the note about the owner living in the basement but Leah was very kind about it and said our noise of moving around the house wasn't a problem for her. We enjoyed walks around the neighborhood and found the house to be comfortable, clean, and everything as described. Leah is a friendly and responsive host.
