Let me start of with the pros:
1) Check in was smooth and since it is a basement apartment there is a sense of privacy
2) It is a 10 minute drive from the subway / shopping area
3) Host was very responsive
Cons
1) During my stay there was a strong mildew smell and because it is a basement apartment there wasn’t much ventilation
2) During my Stay Cleanliness was NOT up to par
A) the bed sheets were not properly washed ( large stain on top sheet and dried blood stain on mattress cover ) and although we were provided new sheets we had to change them ourselves
B) Bathroom could be overall cleaner (you can tell it is an old bathroom) the shower grout or the space between the tiles is stained and toilet seat needs to be replaced
Overall my experience was not the best.
