This is a super cute, one bedroom apartment with the basics - bed, bath, kitchen and a sofa. WiFi worked great, but there is no television or stereo. The street parking is close by, and free. The garden around the house is ADORABLE!!! Katy left us tea, coffee, a Pepsi, and some really good Canadian gum! They don't use smelly cleaning products or air fresheners.
Our only complaint turned out to be a pretty big deal, and that was, the noise level. The owners live upstairs, and they stomp every step they take. You can hear their stereo, what sounds like a television, and them talking. Quiet hours are supposed to be 11p to 7a, but on our 2nd night, she had a party that featured a child who should have been in bed, but was allowed to run up and down the stairs, in and out the house, and at some point she fell, and then the screaming began.
When I texted to find out if she was on the property, Katy informed me that their party would go until midnight, but that when we went to bed, she would make everyone go outside. This meant the noise was then outside the bedroom window, PLUS now exterior lights were an issue, lighting up the bedroom.
Instead of stopping the party at 12, they kept me up until after 3am, and I had to get up at 8 for a class that started at 10. Needless to say, we were. not. happy.
The apartment is not really close to downtown, but is in a good neighborhood with a grocery store on the block, and umpteen different types of Asian restaurants right around the corner.
