I hope this doesn't sound silly, but do you have good cell phone reception in your basement? Might be worth noting in the ads. When apartment hunting in New England , I found that a lot my colleagues and I gave up on looking at basement apts ad b/c we found that we wouldn't have cell reception and we didn't have the $$ for a landline (and it would be hard for you to share a phone line with a tennant).
