We needed this location, as family lives nearby, but had not realized it was in the basement level. My family member is getting a knee replacement soon and the stairs were dismaying. She thought the space was musty and was disappointed to have no cooktop, only a microwave and a refrigerator. She was a little unnerved by the stairway to the main floor that didn't seem secure from her side. So, overall, I'm sure it was fine for a short time, and might have been lovely to sit outside on the patio, but the basement location was not clear to us and was somewhat disappointing.
