Kristina was very welcoming, accommodating, and a good communicator. I was an hour late getting to the place for several reasons and could not contact her because I had no Internet post-train ride, but I'm glad her husband was patient and nice enough to wait. The apartment is in an excellent location, there is a 2 mins. walk to several streetcars that take you downtown in about 12 minutes. One of the nights there were some teenagers up late talking and laughing really loudly outside (the buildings create a lot of echos as well), but generally the neighbourhood was quite quiet. There is a cafe/bistro around the corner, an ice cream shop, an Express Tesco and a small convenience store. You cannot see the river from your window because there is a building in front of you, but is a 2 mins walk. Kristina had all the basic amenities as promised. I needed an iron and she provided that very quickly. The apartment is an open concept space, so no doors, except a sliding door to the bathroom. The one downside of my stay which I already shared with Kristina were the building locks. There is no code to enter the building, only a lock and key. The lock is old, and often I had a very hard time getting into the building which gave me a lot of anxiety every time. Often other building tenants let me in using their keys and I'm pretty sure I looked like I was trying to break in to the building. Perhaps the landlord needs to be pressured.
