The basement apartment on the water is lovely and clean, but we could not lock or close the front door because the wood door swelled in the rain. It was ok the first night, but then when we went to leave the next morning, it would not shut or lock. We had to change our plans and wait in the apartment for several hours until the owners remedied the situation. The second night, we were able to lock and close, but then we weren't able to lock and close it the following morning.
Admittedly, it had rained like crazy for three days during our stay, but a basement apartment on the water should probably have an aluminum, not wood, exterior door.
Owners were lovely, extremely attentive, and gave us a small credit.
