Anyone that age with a family of their own could be understandably financially strapped. Just how financially strapped and what your exact duties as housemate will entail is another deal entirely. Are you expected to contribute to more than half of their rent for an inferior room? What is the average cost for a rented room in that part of town? Are they offering you a good deal, or just looking for some quick cash? Will they want you to cook? Is there any chance that they will ever ask you to babysitt?

Do you have separate access to the house? How content will they be if you decide to bring your gf over to the place? How about if you want to throw a party?
What's running through my mind...

Why did the former renters leave at short notice?
Is there something else going on here?

It seems like there would be a hundred better places to live than some friend's basement with a 1-year-old 1 floor up. Have you ever lived with a 1-year-old? It CAN be HELL.
