My fiancee and I have been house hunting, we found one has that we liked, its perfect except for the basement is not finished.

I’m looking to get a portable air conditioner for my apartment. I can’t seem to find any details on google.com.

Thanks for looking!
cant get a window unit? i hear the portable units dont work so well
