The location of the listing is very good, and is in a quiet neighbourhood. Its a 10 minute walk to Agincourt Mall which has Walmart, No Frills, Burger King, Pizza outlets, Freedom & Fido mobile outlets etc. Nearest bus stop is a 4 minute walk at brisk pace. If you are a family there are also plenty of options for parks / playgrounds etc.
Amy was a responsive host during our stay at her listing. Amy was also kind to enable us an early check-in by around 2 hours, at our request.
We however were disappointed to find the property not being clean on entry, and we notified Amy and cleaned the premises ourselves. Amy apologised for the situation, offered to clean the next day, and agreed to refund the cleaning fees, upon checkout. We decided to clean the property ourselves as our kid was with us and we did not want him to continue to play around in unclean premises.
We also found the place to be infested with spiders and centipedes and notified Amy who offered pest control and gave a insect repellent spray. We declined the request for pest control as we were unsure of being around and getting exposed to any insecticides.
Ultimately we decided to check-out prematurely by four days from Amy’s listing as we were overall not satisfied.
Also, if you are someone who plans to do their own cooking then please carry your own supplies. Though pots and pans were provided there was only one ladle. Please also carry your own cleaning supplies such as washing liquid, detergents etc.
The basement does not have direct sunlight because the openings have a snow protection covering for the winters. So for those of you looking for this please be aware of this point. But light does come into the basement. The internal lights are mostly dim and gives a candle light kinda ambience.
The hosts stay above and you can clearly hear them when they go up and down the stairs, this was not a problem for us but for anyone who is sensitive to sound should keep this is in mind.
Property is ok for short-term stay but not recommended for long-term particularly with kids around.
Host is a good person and gives patient hearing but customer experience is not at the core of how this property was extended to us, probably we were the unlucky ones.

Prajit
