Overall an enjoyable, afforable stay. But, several things worth knowing when assessing whether to book.
Pros:
1. Great residential neighbourhood with shops/restaurants and subway within 10 min walk.
2. Responsive/helpful host.
3. Low price, esp for an equipped kitchen, laundry, plus living room (though not if you use the futon).
4. Thoughtful amenities (e.g., toothbrush, charger, umbrella).
Downsides:
1. General wear and tear (e.g., peeling stickers, damaged light shades, rusty oven cover) such that the unit needs freshening up.
2. Some areas were collecting dust.
3. Cleaning products were stored in the open (e.g., mop, vacuum, cleaners).
4. A bit inconvenient that the bathroom sink is in the shower room where floor is often wet. The shower head is also quite low so I couldn't stand upright.
5. The toilet is very close to the wall in the bathroom. I'm 5'8" and found it uncomfortable. A taller person would have quite a bit of trouble.
