We booked 1545 Wabansia for a month in August.
Bianca is a lovely person , she made us very welcome and always tried to help .
We arrived late afternoon and gaining access was easy as Bianca described.
But we were a little taken aback by the condition of the premises .
Location was ok, close to North and Ashland buses and a 15 min walk to Blue line.
Unfortunately there was a local coucil depot right opposite which ment trucks and heavy equipment were coming and going early morning and afternoon on week days , the Kennedy is very close also, so with the windows open it was very noisy.
Parking is very difficult only a small un zoned area which was always full.
The building is very old and needs some major repairs to timber decking , rear stairs, and entry gates the floors are not level and sagging due to age.
The interior is dark and and tired .
The entry is via a very steep narrow stair case.
Internet was continually dropping out which was a real problem for us as it was on of the deciding factors on renting as we needed it for business. very annoying that cable modem was located elswhere which made it impossible to reboot .
The cable tv box is located elsewhere also and kept swithching to record and play back other channels.
Kitchen utensils , pots and pans were very old and did not appear all that clean. Some major essentials were missing.
We had to purchase a frying pan , vegetable peeler,kitchen tongs and
a decent sharp kitchen knife.
This accomodation was adequate for us guys but I could not rate it at 3 star.
I was expecting something much better.
I could not say it was good VFM, considering the condition of the building and the price we paid.
