This could be a five star place, unfortunately it's run like an inner-city boarding house.
Yohan charges a $50 CAD cleaning fee, but expects the renter to do the laundry. Not exactly welcoming.
Bizarrely strict no visitors policy, and surveillance in the hallway creates a weird authoritarian/paranoid tone to the place.
All this is tolerable though, it's a nice place, good neighborhood, great city.
Unfortunately, what finally put me off about this place, is that I had some pretty serious privacy concerns.
There is a neighbor across the hall, he helps out with the rentals. First, he was looking through my window while I was at the store. I returned to the apartment and he confronted me about leaving the AC on with the windows open, however he was mistaken. I actually was running the fan not the AC, to air out the place a bit while I picked up some food. What was really irritating is that he automatically assumed I was doing something wrong and used an admonitory tone when confronting me.
Then he's knocking on my door, asking if I'm parked out front (I wasn't).
Second, I was trying to take a nap and suddenly I hear someone struggling with the apartment door lock. I get up and fling the door open. It's the neighbor again, claiming he was instructed by Yohan to put a freshly clean duvet in the apartment but got the apartment numbers confused. He also had no duvet in hand.
The incident was aptly apologized for so, honest mistake? Possibly, or just trying to check in on the place.
For me this was really super annoying. All I wanted was to pay my money and be left alone, it didn't happen. I have years of NYC experience and I'm a sturdy guy so I don't worry about personal safety all that much, but for other folks the experiences I had could be unsettling.
