This neighbourhood is wonderful. The large room is clean but it was a surprise to us that you are actually not enjoying a “historic” house at all. The space must be entered from the alley and you are met with the laundry room and a steep, narrow, set of stairs going down into a subterranean room. There is a very small window that can be opened but you only see a concrete wall. As the room is fairly newish we were surprised that there is no or very little sound proofing from upstairs. But the neighbourhood is lovely and the houses are indeed historic.
