The basement apartment was cozy and suited our needs. We were in town just for the weekend and the location of the apartment is great. Walking distance to Hawthorne street loaded with shops and restaurants. There is some noise from the family upstairs(footsteps and the occasional thump) but nothing out of the ordinary. if you have ever lived in an downstairs apartment before then it’s to be expected. It would have been nice to have a microwave in the room and WiFi was little spotty at times. We enjoyed our stay.
