I enjoyed my stay at Caroline’s. Her place is in a fabulous location, very close to the metro, easy to get downtown and also close to some lovely shops and cafes etc. Caroline was an extremely attentive and helpful host. She has a sweet, social temperament and is always available to make sure you have what you need. She was flexible with my ever-changing timing due to weather and open to my checking out late, which I deeply appreciated. Her space is very neat and clean, the room is large and open, exactly like the photos. Caroline is particular about how she keeps her space so if you stay here, you should be flexible and committed to following the rules of the house and able to take feedback if something is not working. As her kitchen is very small it was sometimes challenging to navigate but she was accommodating about this, sometimes waiting to begin cooking until I had finished. The bed is very comfortable (firm but molding nicely to your back). There is a large closet if you are there for a longer visit and want to fully unpack. I did not love that the desk and kitchen chairs were some kind plastic and bit low and uncomfortable, especially for typing on a computer. I’m quite sensitive to this, so most people will probably not be bothered. Caroline and I had a bit of a challenge when it came to my coming and going, as I was attending a music conference with very strange hours. I often had events that went until 3am and some that started at 8am. Caroline is in the process of renovating the space and currently does not have a real door between her bedroom and the shared space (kitchen, dining area, bathroom). Though I tried to be quiet, I woke her up both coming in late and getting up early. I would not recommend this for someone needing flexibility in this way, or someone who makes a lot of noise at night or in the early mornings. The room was very quiet in terms of street noise, but you could hear conversation etc coming from the kitchen so if you need a lot of quiet and privacy, this may not be the right place for you. I appreciate Caroline’s communication style and how we were able to work through the challenges without creating larger conflict. Also, be forewarned that if you are coming in the winter by car, the available street parking may be snowed in, so bring a shovel in your car! Overall I had a lovely stay, and would consider staying again, especially in the summer and if I was keeping regular hours!
