Due to issues with the door system (code would not unlock unit), we didn’t end up staying in the attic unit but on the third floor Tiles apartment instead. Although this was an inconvenience, the ON Host staff were quick to respond and upgraded us to a larger space which was appreciated.
The building as a whole is in a great location, and we found it to be accurately portrayed and reasonably priced . We had initially chosen the fifth floor attic space so that no one would be staying on top of us - we found that on the third floor, we couldn’t go to bed until the people above us went to bed as the building is quite old and you can hear heavy footsteps, furniture moving, conversations from the hallway, etc. I think this would not be an issue on the fifth floor, however, as you are very high up.
They are very direct in the posting that there is no elevator - we knew this, but found the stairs more challenging than expected. They are not the modern stairs you might find in North America - very narrow, not always evenly spaced (some quite steep), and very short (I wear a women’s size 7 and my whole foot could not fit on all the steps). This wasn’t an issue for us as young people, but I think it would be a challenge or potential concern for older people or those with mobility issues.
