Our group had a great time. Check-in was easy and Jarrod was very welcoming- he even provided snacks for us. The apartment was stocked with all of the essentials and conveniently located near the streetcar and grocery store. Also, the apartment was indeed a "huge space" and comfortably fit five of us.
At first glance, the neighborhood doesn't seem so nice. However, we felt perfectly safe throughout the week and never had any issues.
I would definitely recommend the apartment to a group travelling on a budget.
