The apartment is well located: close to the University area, Chinatown, Little Italy, Trinity-Bellwoods, and other interesting places. Communication with Neil was also good. On a more negative note, the apartment seemed to be poorly ventilated and perhaps as a result was pervaded by an unfortunate musty smell -- although to be fair the room itself was better ventilated due to the bay window. The room, while clean enough, was cluttered with files, papers, shoes, etc that created a sense that the room was not set aside as a guest room. Notably, this clutter is absent from the photos on the listing.
