I have mine in the basement as it was the only space in our downsized home. It's not perfect. I get cold after a few hours either because of the air conditioning (cold air sinks) or the inefficient heating ( warm air rises.) But it's all mine. I do have a couple of ceiling height windows but I do lose a sense of time down there. I'm a sports widow so it is my, albeit imperfect, sanctuary.
