Vincent runs a very cozy, charming and economical shared space in Mile End. The rooms are quite small, but mine had loads of charm, with a huge ceiling, comfortable bed, exposed brick wall, and big windows. The experience at the AirBnB was really comfortable and private, although it may be difficult if you come with a lot of clothing, as there isn't much space to pack things away or hang them. The wifi and heat are great, and Vincent responds promptly to any concern or question you may have.
You share the kitchen and bathroom with potentially five other parties, so the quality of the experience is dependent on who is staying there. My personal experience was excellent. That said, if you want the benefits of a place like this, you also have to do your part to make it work - be responsible in your use of common areas!
