I believe the value for the place is reasonable considering the competition in the area. Mostly, is was furnished as described and Saskia was fairly responsive.

The place was located about 2 blocks from the tram (which only costs about $7.00 per day if you stay in Zone 1). We felt very safe and was quite impressed with the local architecture of the older buildings in the area.

During the week, the traffic noise in the morning is quite loud and the door from the bedroom is right on Williams Road (which is very busy from 6 am until after 9 am). If you are a city person, this should be no problem.

The provided furniture was very nice with a good sized dining area and table. The dishwasher and combination, microwave/oven/convection oven was real nice. The gas stove was nice as well and could be used to supplement the heat (though we did not). The exhaust fan and light over the stove does not work.

We moved in the same day another couple moved out and perhaps there wasn't time to do a proper cleaning. There were plenty of pet hairs under the bed. The refrigerator had some items that were left from the previous occupants (which was good), but the shelves needed a sterile cleaning. In addition so did all the cabinet shelves. There is only one portable heater, which is insufficient for the size place, so it does stay a little cool. The heating element in the bathroom does not work and the exhaust fan is tied in with the light, so there is no way to eliminate the draft in the bathroom.
There are electric heating pads on the bed, but we were not able to get them to work (that was probably our fault).
