Our experience was lovely. The location was fantastic. Uber to downtown was cheap, the drive was quick, and the public transportation was a good mix between the two. We tried all three, and our recommendation is the public transportation. Pamela gave excellent directions on how to reach the nearest bus stop.
The basement had all the amenities we needed and more (she gave us popcorn and coffee!). The shower and bathroom were spacious and she provided body wash and shampoo. The futon was comfortable. There were plenty of dishes and silverware. We had a mini fridge and a microwave. The TV had a really cool chrome cast setup so we could put our Netflix up via our iPad. The wifi was great, easy to connect and strong signal.
At times we could hear full conversations upstairs, and weren't sure if we could be heard as well. But that didn't bother us, but it is something to keep in mind.
