Huge space in a basement
First, I'll say that this is a meticulously clean unit with a lot of great features including a very large space, a full kitchen (less dishwasher), laundry room, and in-room sauna (additional cost). When we arrived, the smoke detectors were missing and the host replaced the two nearest the bedrooms the next day.But, you're living in someone's converted basement. The space is more "family/guest bonus area" than "welcoming short term rental". You'll hear the voices and footsteps of the host's family. At some points, it sounded like they were moving pianos up there, but they were rarely up early in the morning nor did they stay up late at night.Take some time to note where the lights and light switches are -- they're not where you think.Lighting is generally poorly designed with a random smattering of cool white LED puck lighting in the main area. The bathroom lighting is the worst. The entire bathroom is quite dim and there is no light in the shower. This is a below ground unit with two windows -- one in the master bedroom and one in the TV area. From the parking area entry, there is an indoor stairway leading down. Luggage and groceries will be going up and down a staircase.The furniture in the TV area is well past its useful life and the carpeted areas are pretty worn.If you need the space, you can't beat the value, but if you don't, there are better choices available.
