As a solo female traveller, I was looking for something central and safe. This apt is close to downtown and the metro stop is across the street. Wilson has a guidebook in his apartment if you need recommendations and the location couldn't be beat. I didn't spend too much time in the apartment but when I came back at 4 am, I didn't feel unsafe getting into the building and the area. Lots of coffee shops close by to get coffee or snacks. Close to McGill and Chinatown! This location cannot be beat!
Wilson's roommate explained how the keys worked and I rarely ran into him. Wilson was flexible and let me stay an extra hour! Loved this place. Would highly recommend it!!!
Pros:
- Centrally located and very walkable
- Metro station right as you cross the street
- comfortable and the room is large
- all the appliances and decor are modern and chic
- bed is comfortable
- great host
- very safe and secure
- close to lots of things!
Cons:
- As it is in the major part of the city, the restaurants close by are mostly chains
- Shared bathroom (minor con)
- Since it is downtown, it can be loud until the wee hours of the morning (bring earplugs)
