basement unit

Subterranean living space

A basement unit is a rental apartment or living space located in the basement level of a house or building, typically below ground or partially underground.

These units often have lower ceilings, smaller windows, and less natural light than above-ground apartments, but usually command lower rent: The basement unit was affordable, but I missed having real sunlight.
