Nicole and Gilles' place was perfect for us. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed. All the essentials at an affordable price including no issues wifi and access to washer/dryer. Most importantly, great location and wonderful hosts. The location is the Beacon Hill neighborhood. A short walk to the #7 bus (which runs every 15 minutes weekdays and slightly less frequently evenings and weekends) and you can be downtown in less than 15 minutes. If you want something a little quieter, Cook Street with shops (2 groceries) and numerous restaurants is just a few blocks away. Wander through the neighborhood with cute arts and crafts bungalows on the way over to Beacon Hill Park full of dog walkers, joggers and bikers. Nicole and Gilles could not have been more helpful or responsive when our travel plans went awry.
Full disclosure - it is a basement apartment - while there is plenty of light there are no views, it gets a little stuffy when closed up during the day but opening the windows and door clears things right up, and the shower would be tight for a large individual.
We would definitely go back.
