We stayed 2 and a half weeks in Lish's basement apartment which is beautiful and well equipped with everything you could ever need - washer and dryer, internet, cable TV, fireplace, umbrellas, even thing like cereal, butter and fruit! Even though there are 2 supermarkets within short walking distance, those little things are so convenient to have! The apartment is about 10 mins walk from 2 subway stations and there are restaurants and cafés etc so close by. It was warm and cosy in winter... did I mention the fireplace?! Lish is full of local knowledge and happy to help with whatever she can. She is friendly and open and I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.
(If you are a really light sleeper who gets up late, it's worth mentioning that there are a few creaky floorboards above the bedroom which can be heard in the morning and a few noises from pipes here and there, but nothing bothersome for the average person.)
