Julien was very thorough in his check in process, showing us around the apartment, which is upstairs from where his family lives. We love that shoes are left at the bottom of the stairs so the apartment is shoe free which makes us super happy! The home was well decorated, bright and airy and comfortable. Location is pretty good - right around the block is a 24/7 supermarket, a Mcdonalds and a 15 min walk to the N and R subways. Street parking is a breeze so that was great as well. Towels were provided but bring our own toilet paper, hand soap, washer soap, and paper towels as those were not provided. Nevertheless, Julie was kind enough to provide us with some TP and handsoap when we requested. Great host, by a family (not an airbnb management company), which always makes it all so special. <3
