The pros: responsive host, location and access to public transit, extra parking spaces available, fully renovated units.
The cons: although the units were fully renovated on the inside but the building is very old which meant everytime we cooked something, mice were coming into the unit. We did not feel safe in the neighborhood as someone once broke the first floor’s window a few days after we arrived and it was left like that for a few days before it was repaired. Another time, a drunk/high person walked into the building at night and slept in front of our door and we had to wake him up in the morning and make him move so that we can go to work. Also, the constant smell of smoke and weed coming from other units was really diturbing. One other minor issue was that the laundry takes $1 coins only and each wash and dry takes more than $5 which makes it impossible to do laundry!
