Summary: convenient location, safe for a solo traveler, recently renovated, and lots of amenities!
Pros:
- Modern, with new kitchen appliances and in-suite laundry
- Easy access via transit as it is near bus stops, Broadway, and a Canada Line train station
- There is a Shopper’s Drug Mart within 2 mins walking distance that is open late, which is super handy for grabbing necessities and small groceries. There is also a Whole Foods and Save-On-Foods within walking distance as well!
- A great neighborhood bar (BierCraft)
- Safe neighborhood with lots of motion sensor lights near the entrance of the suite, which provided a sense of security as a solo traveller when coming back to the suite at night
- Great hosts who provide excellent communication re: house rules and check-in/check-out issues. They were also kind enough to let me know if there would be any contractors working around the house during the day, so I wasn’t surprised!
Cons:
- The mattress protector (though necessary and sanitary) is a bit slippery, so the bed felt plastic-y overall
- The suite was a bit dusty, but this was fixed with the Dyson vacuum that is conveniently located in the bedroom closet
Overall, the hosts and suite is a great pick!
