The room was super clean, stylishly updated and new looking. We were really impressed by how nice it was. The bathroom was huge! The bed was comfortable and it was nice having a fridge and even a small desk if you need it. I didn’t realize the shared kitchen was right next to this room and we had to walk past it to access the stairs, but it wasn’t an issue. No one seemed to hang out there long, and we never ran into anyone in the two nights we stayed here. We could sometimes hear people talking from the kitchen or the room next door, but no one was loud when we were here and people seemed respectful of the quiet hours. I’m a light sleeper, so I always bring earplugs when I travel, because people might come in late or you might hear someone talking outside the building, but if you are not a light sleeper, you would probably be fine. It was still pretty quiet overall. Location is good for biking and public transportation, but could be a little far to walk, depending on where you want to go. We still walked everywhere anyway, and it’s doable if you like to walk. It was an hour to walk to Old Town and then we walked downtown from there. The walk along the canal is nice and there is a park close by. Wellington street is close by and closed to cars. It’s full of restaurants and small shops, so it was a nice and convenient place to get food and wander around. We were able to find parking on the street without too much trouble and stayed parked there the entire two days we were there. There’s also a funky and cool coffee shop right around the corner called Saint JJH Cafe where the owners are super friendly, laid back, and accommodating. They were the ones that told us about Wellington St. and gave us suggestions of things to see. I enjoyed having a coffee and donut in the relaxed atmosphere, since it was just a few mins walk from the rental.
