I will begin telling that the apartment is clean and the communication with owner was very good and timely, however, we expected better.... the photos could result deceiving because they show the property as it was "renewed" (new floors and paint only) but it is old and, at least, needs a lot of work in the kitchen and replacing the windows.
The apartment is in the corner of a very busy avenue and the windows are really old so you can hear a lot of noise all night long (they have a jar with earplugs!) ... the worst is they are not properly sealed so the cold air flows through the gaps and it is really really cold if you are sleeping close to a window. No heating in the bedrooms just in the living room. The bathroom and rooms are just OK but again everything is very clean.
The location is a little far from downtown (8-10 min in taxi)… the neighborhood is shady (at least we didn’t like it). Be aware that there is no parking, so because it is a very busy corner/street probably you won’t be able to park your car close to the apartment.
Advice for the owner: Decoration is way too simple ...a little love to make it cozier will help to hide the aging... sure it is an income property but I would pay more for a better place and for sure I would have written a better review.
