Yes, it's an old house, you kinda hear neighbors and stuff. Nevertheless I immensely enjoyed the decor and vibe of the unit - staying at James's apartment is like going back in time to the 70s. The apartment block is located on a gorgeous green and quiet street, very close to Canada line station. James is a great guy - knowledgeable and caring. Thanks James! Recommendation for future guests - go for a dinner to Shiro Japanese restaurant.
