Overall I enjoyed my stay! The place is very cute and pretty spacious. There are lots of windows and the views are cool. The apartment definitely has an older vibe to it since it’s in an older building (keep that in mind). The location is great, you’re in walking distance to the north end, downtown, and even Chinatown. You definitely don’t need a car if you are just staying in the city! There are a couple T stops close by too.
They seem to be in the process of updating the blinds in the bedroom, as 3 out of 4 of them are broken, old, and aren’t even adjustable. Despite the curtains, the bedroom was still rather bright at night. The bed was sorta comfortable. There’s a piece of wood separating itself from the door to the bedroom.
The toilet is wobbly when you sit down on it, which seems to have been an issue for a while now after I read through the reviews. Also for some reason, sometimes the water kept running on and off after flushing. Oh and the shower curtain also had a weird orange stain on it.
Speaking of water, I did notice water dripping from the ceiling near the kitchen. I sent the hosts a picture and they were very quick to communicate with me and I was told they made building maintenance aware. Maintenance did not come during my stay so hopefully they will resolve that issue quickly!
The last thing I will say, that’s not pictured, is that there’s actually an additional door that leads to the hallway and locks from the inside. I don’t understand what the purpose of that door is, it opens right in front of another unit.
Oh, and I fell down the building’s stairs twice, at the bottom. The railing doesn’t quite go all the way down and I slipped and fell. The stairs seem like marble or something and it might’ve been slippery from the weather. ANYWAYS be careful and try not to smash your elbows like me :-)
