Irene was a very communicative host, which is super important to me. The Airbnb was very nice, and the neighbourhood is lovely. It's much quieter than the downtown area, but public transportation is super accessible so it's still easy to get around.
The only issues we had were with the shower, and with check-in. Since Irene uses a third-party to manage the Airbnb, we were communicating with another person to be let in, and they ended up being over an hour late. We had to sit on a curb during a really bad heatwave while we waited. At least the person was very apologetic, which helped make up for the wait. As far as the shower, whenever we would flush the toilet, it would back up. This meant the whole Airbnb smelt like sewage. Since the place is a historic building, there are no windows that open, meaning we had to just deal with the smell. They were able to send someone out to fix it the next day, but it ended up backing up again later that day. If you book this place, I would recommend messaging immediately about this, and following up if it ever backs up again.
