This was in a perfect location for us doing activities on the north side of town. It was cute, easy to park, and felt safe. As stated in the listing, the heat/air control is outside of this unit and you need to message management to adjust for you. They were VERY responsive to our requests to get it adjusted to our liking (super fast). The mattress is a tempurpedic-type.The listing is very clear that this is a basement apartment and that the ceiling is 5' 8". To clarify, it is 5' 8" in the lowest sections (ie, covered section down center, probably where HVAC or ducts are). So, yes, you wouldn't want to bump into those in the night, but if you are okay ducking on your way into the bathroom and bedroom, you might be fine here. You'd want to clarify with the owner, but I'm guessing the majority is 6 feet.The things to be aware of. This is a building with multiple units and it's an older structure. The floors creek and if those in neighboring units have loud voices, you will hear them. You also may pick up food smells from other units, etc. So, depending on how sensitive you are, something to consider. There are windows that can be opened. And, we always travel with a white noise machine. I do believe there was also a fan and space heater in the unit.
