My friend and I stayed in Kent's place for seven weeks and it was an absolute pleasure. The space was exactly as he described it. It was open, well-furnished, there was a lot of light, and it certainly didn't feel as it was a basement. The front room has three large windows with plenty of natural light and the bedroom itself has a nice window. There are two large fireplaces and shelves with plenty of books in case you want to read. The kitchen, although a bit small, has everything you need including a hot plate, stove, microwave, coffee maker, pots and pans, and cutlery. The bathroom was large and had a washer-dryer, which was incredibly helpful.
Beyond the excellent space--which was clean, spacious, and nice--Kent was lovely and helpful throughout our stay. Whenever we had questions or needed anything, he immediately responded. In fact, he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, including purchasing an additional mattress, bed frame, and dresser since we were there for seven weeks. Overall, we truly enjoyed getting to know Kent and staying at his home, and recommend it very highly!
