Anzu’s place is nice, clean, and modern — it’s located in a very safe and upscale neighborhood. The beds were comfortable and her family was friendly and accommodating, but it’s unlikely we would stay here again.
The townhouse only has 1 shower but 2 out of the 3 rooms are rented out to 4-5 Airbnb guests. Taking into account the host family, that makes 1 shower for 8-9 people which makes getting ready very difficult in the morning and evening.
In addition, things were quite limited. I’m all for frugality, but the shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, and dish soap were all extremely diluted (20-30% product, 70-80% water) and there was a lack of attention to refill or replenish the sparse products. For instance, when we arrived, there were only 3-5 tissues in our room, the 1oz diluted hand soap bottle was only 30% filled, and I found myself without toilet paper one morning and no additional toilet paper could be found in the washroom so that morning was very unfortunate.
For myself, I try to stay active on my vacations and look forward to getting access to a gym. Unfortunately, Anzu’s “free gym” was a yoga mat, foam roller, a rubber ball, an ab wheel, and a small children’s rock climbing wall that leads to the host family’s room. So if you’re looking forward to the gym, keep your expectations low.
We understood and acknowledged that there would be some noise living with a family and other guests, but there were a few nights the family was up till 22:00 - 23:00 and the kids would be fighting or singing which would wake us up.
Our stay wasn’t the best or worst, but for future travelers, this place is really just a place to sleep.
