Decent place, quiet neighborhood. In hindsight a bit further from downtown than we would have liked but not too bad and not the lister’s fault.
It is not apparent from the listing but there is another suite downstairs. The photos in the listing actually appear to show both upstairs and downstairs. If I had known this to begin with I may not have booked this place, as I have four kids, for the downstairs suite own peace and quiet plus our own peace and quite and privacy. One night we could hear the downstairs TV quite loudly.
Laundry is accessible through the garage outside for the upstairs suite we were in. It’s a bit of a pain as you have to go outside, down the stairs and into the garage. Although the listing says laundry is free they do ask for an optional $1 per load donation. Yes it says optional but I found this a bit tacky to even ask to be honest.
There is also an extra person fee that is not obvious unless you look at the availability with different number of people (we had 7 occupants). I find it a bit sneaky. Just be transparent.
While the home is decent, it was not very clean. The floors were dirty, so much so that after just 10 mins or so of walking around my 2 year old’s feet were black. The bath tub was not clean so I did not use it for my kids. The counters had to be wiped down before we could use them as they were gritty.
When we stripped the beds at the end to put laundry in a pile we noticed the mattresses and pillows were quite stained, a bit unappealing, it was probably a good thing we noticed this after.
The main living area does not have window coverings so it’s kind of a fishbowl feeling.
I feel this place has a lot of potential with just a bit more attention paid to it.
