I wanted to stay in my old neighborhood so chose West Portal as our destination. This apartment is huge and very well located to the M train, coffee and bagels and restaurants. I think I assumed some things with this apartment for rent such as a bath (only a shower) which was a drag b/c I have a baby...Overall it was a nice place and great location but I probably wouldn't stay here again. I really wanted to love this place.

Pros: Great location. HUUUUUGE apartment. Backyard acces. **PARKING!! ** Very friendly hosts. Super cute. Walking distance to street with many amenities and metro.

Cons: No bath - shower only. Kind of dirty (and I'm not high maintenance...but I like a clean bathroom and coffee pot... did both myself the first day as it was quite apparent a guest had recently stayed.) Obvious that the apartment was picked up, but not clean.

I assumed it was a detached garden apartment. I'm a light sleeper now that I'm a mom- I could hear everything above us at night/in the morning as it's the bottom unit of a huge gorgeous home.
