The furnishings are newer
The apartment has been updated but it still needs some work
It was fairly clean, cleaner maybe than it seemed
Be prepared for walking a couple of flights of stairs to get to the apartment, no elevators and its a tighter squeeze up the stairway making it difficult to get the bigger luggage up
Windows open fine, but no screens to keep the bugs out
The air conditioner did a good job of keeping the apartment cool, but it would have been nice to let the fresh air in without worrying
It's in a hip area, a lot going on during the day
Cute little shops and cafes to visit
The walk to St. Catherine's street is about 10-15 minutes which we walked during daylight, through a nearby park which was nice for the kids
Parking is a short two block walk for about $20/day (in and out privileges), or toll parking is available for 2 hour intervals along the streets (we were usually able to find something close enough without issue), app can be downloaded and the meter can be topped up from wherever u are without having to go to the vehicle which made it extremely convenient
It was well stocked with necessities, laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towel, tissues, etc.
Linens provided were sufficient and clean
If you're not a clean fanatic, as in a 5 star fanatic, then this apartment is more than sufficient
The price reflects the product, good value with some restrictions
