Recently stayed here and on a sunny day, with the light colored wood floors (perhaps maplewood) and white painted walls, and sky lights you get an enormous amount of lovely natural light.
Everything is as pictured. It is a two story private apartment with a few steps up from the outside on in the middle of an extremely quiet residential block of one way traffic. I found the walk to the metro stop (sherbrooke) to be about 12 minutes, cutting through a rectangular public park.
I will continue with trying to make points not already said by past reviewers, however I would support what has been said about the privacy issue with the windows facing the street, also noting there are no blinds or drapes, but the window glass are frosted half way up (and the apt is raised above street level).
But what I noticed is across the street there are also two properties, both have steps leading up to their apts, with a landing raising their eye level. During my stay there are smokers at both these properties who come out regularly and late night to drain a cigarette, and as you may well know... either you look and or play with your phones. At the landing they are at level to the half frosted windows, so if you are as deep into the apt as even the kitchen, you can been seen, so just a word on that.
As with the professional pics, the large bright living room with the lovely blue couch would for a large family, have to make due with the TV, a lovely Sharp LCD (with roku) in the smaller 2nd fl. back bedroom. WIFI appeared to work fine with my devices during my stay.
The larger bedroom facing the street has a larger bed, feels like memory foam (they both do) and is very comfortable. Washer and dryers are stacked and housed within the bathroom.
Two large garbage cans in the kitchen to help keep the place clean. with a fridge containing a lot of various food items, but 1 remaining roll of towels finished in a day. Supplied toilet paper was abundant. Bathroom towels were abundant. Bathroom and kitchen have liquid soap dispensers, the apt even has an umbrella, thank you Guillaume for pointing that out as well as thank you for the shopping bag which came in very handy and your hospitality.
Would consider staying again in the future if things line up.
