Liked: Cleanliness
Well Kept, Clean, homey, Private.... With people living and walking around upstairs, the "white noise" machine worked wonders while trying to sleep.One negative, Being in the basement is already the coolest portion of the home, but when the residents upstairs like their rooms cool, it sure makes the basement that much colder. Nothing a good wrap around blanket can't fix.
