We rented this basement suite because it had a kitchen, but the kitchen was not very well stocked with items you could cook with. it had plates bowls and cups with cutlery, but only had 1 pan. we had to go out and buy a pot, colander, a mixing bowl, cutting boards, and a knife so we could cook the food we brought with us.the mattress was not comfortable. you could feel the frame below when you were lying on it. there is no TV or couch, which wasn't listed in the ad, but it would have been nice to have somewhere to sit that wasn't the bed, or the dining room table. You are under a family that is living under the house above, with kids. the noise levels were fine at night, no problems with that, but they do have a drum set that they sometimes played during the day. it wasn't overly loud, just something to be aware about.
