An honest review from a frequent traveler
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!!
This place is perfectly located in a super cool neighborhood and very easy access to transit and amazing restaurants
It's an older building in a bustling neighborhood, so it may be noisy for some, but we had no issues (we even had the bedroom window open over the weekend and didn't find it was overly noisy)
Beautiful, giant clawfoot tub in the bathroom, so bath lovers, this is tour spot!
Super convenient access to local restaurants and shops, also, a quick walk to the train and transit
Beware of the bed. This place is strictly an AirBnb, not someone's apartment, so the furniture is the typical ikea furniture you'd expect. we sat on the bed and the slats fell out. After 2 nights of sleeping on a broken bed, we MacGuyver'd the slats to mot fall out anymore with paper towels stuffed into gaps.
There was only 1 garbage bin in the place... in the bathroom. nothing in the kitchen. We ended up taking g our trash out that wasn't bathroom garbage every time we went out as a result
The patio/balcony is literally right above a garbage skip for the restaurant downstairs. Thankfully, the weather is temperate so it was not hot enough to be disgusting, but there were a lot of flies when we sat out for our morning coffee
Also, being as it's over a restaurant....bugs. Our first night we decided to have a glass of wine before we went out and were surprised by the sudden appearance of 6 cockroaches. we got startled and a glass was dropped (sorry!) and had to continuously kill them through our entire stay. So be aware of this
Wifi included (yay!) but TV only had an HDMI connection, so don't expect to be able to stream without a direct hdmi connection
This is the first AirBnb/hotel I've stayed at that had a 5pm check in and 10am check out. We messaged and asked for an hour earlier check in and an hour later check out, and there was absolutely no flexibility on the hosts part.
For us, the experience was good, except for the roaches. Those were super gross
