Pros:
1. Location.
2. Equipped with all you need to cook and clean. Great laundry room and trash recycling in the building.
3. Really comfortable bed, good quality.
4. Free car parking, as parking is expensive in the city.
Cons:
1. Its noisy!! It’s located on the 4th floor and so it absorbs the noises of the city. For example, there’s a hospital a few blocks away and ambulances go all night with their sirens blaring. I now know the difference between fire engines, ambulances and police sirens. I never slept through a single night in this apartment. My partner is profoundly deaf and I spent my nights watching them blissfully sleep as I listening to the city come alive. It’s a shame as the bed was so good, really comfortable. I bought ear plugs and I could still hear the ambulances siren.
Also... there is a church opposite the apartment. Right behind it, a whole block is being excavated, down as far as 4 levels into the earth. It’s absolutely huge! So, all day, huge excavation heavy duty machinery are digging and removing truck loads of soil.
Also... there is another church right beside this church, getting a make over. For two whole days, from morning to night, a concrete truck parked outside it, with its engine on high rev, administering cement to the renovated church.
I’m just exhausted from the lack of sleep.
2. The apartment is dark. Despite all the windows, its dark. If it’s a full day, it’s even worse. It’s also missing bulbs and the bulbs that do work are very weak. The bedroom only has two bedside lamps with low level bulbs so very often, we were using the torch on our phones to find things. If we needed to do our hair or make up or needed light to fix something, we would have to go into the sitting room and stand under that light.
I don’t complain that often, We’re really easy going, don’t get me wrong. I guess I’m just exhausted from the lack of sleep and each morning at 2/3am I wrote this review in my head. Over and over again.
