I rented this unit as a group of 6 and we were all comfortable with the space provided. The unit was very clean when we entered and the windows provided a lot of light. The dining area was very neat and homely as it was partitioned from the rest of the areas.
There are a few things to keep in mind when renting this unit:
1. The blinds do not black out sunlight.
2. There is a lot of construction around the area.
3. There is no central AC. Each room has their own portable AC until. The common area's AC unit is installed in a way where it feeds out into a window that cannot be fully closed. Because the window is always slightly opened, it was hard for the common area to become cold.
Thus, if you are a light sleeper, you may be woken up by any of the point notes above. I would suggest to:
1. Sleep early and wake up earlier to avoid getting woken up by sunlight and construction.
2. Or, bring earplugs and an eye-cover (although the construction was quite loud).
Other than these external factors that the hosts can't really control, everything else was on point.
Some of the amazing things I wanted to point out:
1. We had some temporary issues with the blinds and tv and when we were out, the hosts were kind enough to come in and resolve those issues on a timely manner.
2. Whenever I had a question, they promptly responded.
3. The unit comes with its own washer and dryer (with detergent). So you don't need to bring as many clothes if you don't want to.
4. Location is key - We were able to drive to our destination in a reasonable time frame regardless of where we were heading. I live in Toronto and Vancouver traffic is a fraction of what we experience here.
5. None of us have kids, but the unit is family friendly as it comes with play mats, toys, and 1 high seat for a baby in the dining room.
Extra notes:
1. If you leave the door unlocked, it will automatically lock after x amount of minutes (I believe around 1-3 minutes).
2. Due to COVID, I wouldn't suggest to walk around late night (past 11PM) as there are a lot of homeless who will ask for cigarettes or change (they walk up to you without masks and may follow you).
3. The TV comes with a Netflix App, and will already be logged in with an account.
Overall, I would definitely rent out this unit again!
