Our stay was great for the most part! The location is just great. It's quiet. Safe. Close to restaurants and the subway. It was really nice to have a private parking spot, as it can be so competitive to park on the street and you need special zone permits. But the parking spot is a tight fit even for a car depending on how the neighbors (both upstairs and across the street) park their vehicles. Fast internet.
There was an appliance problem during our stay (which happens and wasn't anyone's fault), but the property manager went above and beyond to try and get it fixed as soon as possible. He is very responsive by phone and quick to call. Kept us well updated.
The mosquitos are crazy by the door, so it's no joke when the owner recommends you to shut the door quickly. Definitely appreciated the bottle of deet that was left there, as we didn't have any.
We did stay for two weeks. And so, the only thing I can really say is that for the very high price tag that we had to pay to stay there for two weeks, we did expect a little more in the fine details of the place. We expected it to be a little nicer and cleaner. There was no shampoo and a quarter bottle of conditioner. There was a used sponge that actually had a hair on it for dishes (we just bought our own). The little portable stove top isn't convenient for cooking. There is no climate control, but you can ask the manager to ask the upstairs neighbors to adjust the temp. The power breaker switching easily so the light over the sink and some other stuff went out suddenly. There was just a little list of inconveniences that came along with the space that I didn't expect, especially for the price I paid. I realize that it's an old home, and that's probably just part of it. So, it's just good to be aware that this house does have some old charm and inconveniences. I probably noticed them so much just because I was working from "home" in the airbnb and was exposed to it all day. You probably wouldn't notice for a shorter stay or if you're out and about for your stay!
But I'm glad we stayed here. It was worth the safety and other conveniences. And the owner and property manger are both very friendly, kind and communicative.
