The Snug is a full sized 3 bedroom apartment on a quaint street, but it’s not conveniently located to the metro. The metro is a half mile walk, with children, easily a 20 minute walk. It is very convenient to Burton Street where a lot of shoppes and restaurants are located. That walk is only 5 minutes to access the street.
The check-in is simple. You use a code to access the keys. However, the lock to access the apartment is very difficult. It took us several tries and minutes trying to finagle the lock open and also to lock it back was equally frustrating. At first we had to contact someone for help gaining access. We thought it must have been a wrong key. The lock sticks and the key has to be meticulously placed and rotated before the lock responds.
The week we were visiting, the sun was out most of the time, so we were really disappointed at the exterior of the apartment. The picnic table in the private back garden was covered by an old, dilapidated garage door that’s being propped up by the picnic table. That was our view from the kitchen. The grass is overgrown and the plants are mostly unattended weeds. The fence around the property is missing parts, broken and decayed and in some places hazardous where wrought iron pieces are strewn about recklessly and neglected.
This apartment has loads of potential if the owner cared to spend a little time on the exterior. The space is there, at the very least, remove the broken and detached garage door from the picnic table and trim the weeds and grass so guests can also enjoy the sitting area on a rare sunny day in Didsbury.
Otherwise, we enjoyed inside the apartment. It was clean and spacious.
