Overall our experience was mixed. Philippe was a great host, but the unit itself had a few shortcomings:
1. One of the mattresses was so soft that you can feel the bed frame underneath -- we swapped it out with the other mattress after sleeping one night.
2. The balcony door in the bedroom didn't have darkening curtain, so we didn't sleep in that room. While the window had darkening curtains, sunlight still brightly shined through the balcony door.
3. While my fiancee did not notice, I noticed the smell of cigarette smoke in the unit. I understand Philippe has spent time and energy to eliminate the smells, but for travelers with a sensitive nose, it is still noticeable. In my personal opinion I would have appreciated knowing this beforehand.
4. The A/C unit is a portable A/C unit, and during our stay the hose disconnected from the window. The reason for this is the A/C held to the window with only one screw, which means the A/C unit will likely disconnect from the window once again. Philippe was very quick and got someone to reconnect it back to the window.
5. Because the A/C unit is a small portable unit, on hot days it will struggle to cool the entire property. We had one freak day where the nighttime low was 28C with 70% humidity, and we were only able to feel barely comfortable by closing the bathroom and bedroom doors so that it was cooling only our bedroom and the main hallway/kitchen.
6. It's a 15 minute walk to the nearest subway station, so the 5 minutes in the description is probably by car.
Despite the shortcomings of the place, we still want to recognize the great service Philippe gave us during our stay. He always responded very quickly, sending out someone to address the A/C and replace a broken hair dryer.
Full disclosure: Philippe refunded us 25% of our booking due to the issues of our stay.
