Our stay in this Airbnb was alright but clouded by the fact that parking was a huge issue. If you are travelling to Mile End with a car, please stay somewhere else that actually has designated parking. Otherwise if you don't need parking, this place is a great location!
The PROS:
- Looks like the photos
- Has the convenience of a full sized fridge, microwave and a stove top.
- Location is great, close to lots of restaurants and bars. Very hip neighbourhood.
- TV with netflix, etc.
- Wema had EXCELLENT customer service and great communication!
The CONS:
- Parking was a huge headache for us. Specifically overnight parking.We parked on the street as suggested but was constantly worrying about getting fined/car would be towed due to the morning street cleaning. Luckily for us there was no cleaning but worrying about our car and waking up at 6:30 am to check on our car for street cleaning really did not allow us to have an enjoyable experience. You can park in the residential area but most need a residential sticker to park. There are also nearby parking lots (ie. on Roy street) but they do not allow for overnight parking, so you would have to move your car by 3AM. And if you want to use your car to go somewhere, you will most likely lose your spot in the street parking and it can be a headache finding parking (we spent 20 mins doing this).
- Sheets, duvet and pillow covers looked stained/not clean and we did not feel like they were cleaned properly.
- Air conditioner remote was not working but I think it was due to dying batteries.
- There are 2 flights of stairs up, which was not a problem for us but for people with heavy luggage or mobility issues, this may be a big problem for you.
- No hairdryer.
Overall, location and staff communication is great but please consider all the above to see if it is worth it for you.
