Common Misconceptions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The difference between cellar\/bunker suites is that it has no windows and are entirely underground. Basement suites or lower-level units are located on the basement floor but are 50% below ground. Because they are not 100% underground, they have medium to large windows that bring in natural light from the ground level. <\/span><\/p>\n

Concrete buildings make it harder for noise to travel through their thick walls and ceilings. Another benefit to renting a basement suite is that you don’t have to worry about the neighbour complaining about the noise level – having nobody living below you. <\/span><\/p>\n
