The basement apartment was exactly as described and absolutely perfect for my brother and I. He was totally happy sleeping on the couch and the bed was SO comfortable. The decoration was lovely! We knew we weren't going to be there much so the lack of a kitchen wasn't a huge deal, we just bought some ice before hunkering down for the night to watch a movie and let it melt away in the sink throughout the night. They were gracious and welcoming upon arrival, and the apartment has everything we needed during our stay. It was a bit pricey for a basement apartment, but it was about the experience while my brother visited me in town so it was worth it. The location was great and there was plenty of parking. Overall, a great stay!
