Exactly like the pictures in an incredibly convenient location of one of my favourite neighborhoods! I felt at home from the first night. The bed was super nice and comfortable and I really appreciated the renovated shower after long days out. The proximity to the subway and all the essential shops you could think of really was unbeatable. The only thing to consider is the fact this place has no AC or fan which made the hotter nights quite tough and the appearance of some surprise bugs and cockroaches. Of course, that's standard when talking about a basement in an old building with a separate entrance - no fault of the cleanliness - just be prepared to find and dispose of them.
I would happily stay here again and wish I booked for longer. You really can't ask for more at such a price.
If you get the pleasure of staying here, please make sure to visit the Holocaust Museum. It's a very short walk and such a transformative experience you will not regret visiting. Read/watch everything! The best food around is at Snowdon Deli for breakfast and City Grill for dinner (try the Schnitzel platter)!
