Julie's place was a great place to stay. She keeps the bedroom and the main area spare, clean and functional. Julie herself seems really easy-going and friendly. I would have felt equally comfortable hanging out or keeping to myself in the bedroom. The bedroom is spacious, with a large table, deep shelves, and even a comfy couch. There's enough space to do some yoga in there if you wanted.
The area is quiet and residential, yet just a few blocks from the Subway station. Note that the subway entrance closest to Julie's house requires a transit pass so if you don't have one you'll need to walk to the main entrance.
Also note that the bedroom door doesn't close securely and can be pushed open by the cat, who loves to go in there! Julie said she might have the landlord fix the door. The neighbours downstairs share the backyard and, when hanging out there, sound like they're right in the room with you. They don't seem to stay up late, however.
Overall, staying at Julie's place was a very positive experience.
