Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Chao during our one week stay. So we wouldn't be able to review him as a host. But the room itself was clean and of a nice size. The ensuite bathroom is a real plus! Mostly why we chose to stay here.
There is a cat in the apartment (as stated in the ad) and it does get into the bedroom as soon as the door opens and meows when it's closed, which didn't bother us at all but anyone looking to book this place should know this.
The location was great for us. Only 15mins walking from numerous subway stations.
Overall, we've enjoyed our stay but wished there was more of an effort from the host to introduce himself.
