A very comfortable, semi-private room. The mentioned generator noise was there but at no time was it a distraction (brown noise not white - that's a good thing!).

The host was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I had a place to stay with only hours notice. She took me on a short tour of the neighbourhood, and gave me great advice as to where to eat, drink and play.

Kensington has bustling streets with some of the best cafes I've been to in North America, and great food from all over the world.

You are 15 minutes walk from the major art gallery and Korea town, 5 minutes to Chinatown, and only 20 minutes to the heart of the city. Food for cooking or eating right away is at your doorstep.

Make sure you try the arepas, cheese, coffee, butter tarts, nutella croissants, pickles, beer, jerked chicken and tacos. You'll need at least a week to eat it all!

Also, make sure your stay overlaps a Sunday for PSK (Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington). All day music, art and food in the streets!
