Living basement in summer time is very covinent and awesome because it is very cool. However, the winter is coming soon and I don't recommend you living basement no matter how it is cheap.Tell you the truth, I had lived in basement at homestay for 11 months. For a young and brave boy, it is not a problem at all because I know my purpose is to study English at homestay, so I ignore the living condition. You'd better find an apartment or house. $ B% e0 x3 n9 M3 Z& h# R% { 8 ~+ k2 F. s) e# L/ F) p5 x- G4 W2 y) ~Good luck.
