My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week. The location was amazing, but the living conditions fell below what we've experienced at other AirBnbs in the same price tier.
There are many small issues listed below. Some of them didn't matter much to us, since we were only two people staying for just one week. But the first 5 items (bed sheets, bed, nails, etc.) made the stay uncomfortable, and we would not choose to stay here again.
PROS:
- prime location (check out Chez Jose next door for Portugese tarts!!)
- blackout shades in bedroom
- balcony/patio in back
NEGATIVES:
- stains on mattress and sheet cover, and no duvet
- bed very creaky
- front door not sealed at bottom, so the wind blows in, and noise can be heard very easily from neighbours
- two sets of nails protruding from walls, where I assume a canvas/painting used to hang
- broken dryer
- someone's old mail (Bell envelopes) and items left in desk drawer and in cabinet above the fridge
- porch light, living room light, and shower light burnt out / flickering
- crooked/broken bath tap
- 2/4 kitchen chairs wobbly/broken
- 1 broken cabinet handle in kitchen
OTHER:
- washer/dryer included, but makes washroom extremely small
- no paper towels, though host did offer to reimburse me if I bought it myself from Dollarama
- normally a cost for extra sheets / pillow cases, although host did supply to me free of charge
- quick initial response from host. Although sometimes they have to "check with the local team", since it is a management team you are speaking to. in this case, responses would be later or the next day
