The basement suite is located in a really nice safe neighborhood. There is easy transit access to the whole city within a 5 to 10 min walk of the suite, dependent on the transit method. Todd was extremely responsive anytime we had any questions. The instructions he provides are extremely detailed and his food and coffee recommendations were very helpful. We didn't use the pull-out couch, but there is only one large central living space, and there wouldn't be a lot of privacy. As mentioned in other reviews you will likely hear footsteps or "murmurs" of conversation from the floor above, If you are a light sleeper, there are earplugs and a white noise machine provided. Overall, I highly recommend staying at Todd's for couples or solo travelers.
