Arriving after dark with all of our phone calls to the host unanswered, we were led down a dark sidewalk to the well-appointed basement apartment by his niece, who lived in the above-ground part of the house. The entrance itself was well-lighted, but with a high concrete curb to step over in order to access the steps, the unit did not lend itself to wheelchair access. The two bedrooms were of average size and included a full-size bed in each room, plus a standard twin-size bed in the larger room. The kitchen was well-equipped, though the freezer was only as cool as the refrigerator (our ice cream melted overnight). Though it seemed at first that there was no hot water for a shower, it was soon discovered that the hot was to the right and the cold was to the left, which was the opposite of the standard marking on the handle. A bit confusing and perhaps not to code. Beds were comfortable and air- handler kept air moving in unit. Altogether a good experience at a reasonable price in an upscale neighborhood.
