The Host: Wayne and his family were very friendly and personally greeted us when we arrived. There was a minor miscommunication about how to return the apartment keys at the end of our stay. This being our first airbnb experience, we would have preferred more regular communication.

The Neighbourhood: My family (2 adults, 2 kids) felt safe at all times. Lots of restaurants (Harlem Shake, Sylvia’s), a café (Lenox Coffee), shopping, and a grocery store (Pioneer) within walking distance. Easy access to Subway (2,3 and A,B,C,D).

Parking: We were able to find safe, free street parking fairly easily. Just needed to move our car twice for street cleaning during the 6 days we were there.

The Apartment: The apartment, on the third floor of a three-storey walk-up, is clean and secure. It has a couch (not a pull-out) and two single, nesting cots in the living room area that can be made up if you require them. The TV was a bit tricky to manage but we were able to watch a couple of stations. We hooked our laptop up to it and were able to use Netflix and watch movies that way. Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom were as described. There is one window-unit AC in the bedroom with a second that can be installed if needed. Wifi didn’t work for us in the bedroom, was better in the living room area.

We would recommend this apartment.
