We stayed in Penny's apartment for two weeks over Christmas and New Years and we enjoyed it! The apartment is big and bright and it feels even bigger than what it looks like in the photos. The place is just a few blocks away from the subway, off the L-train, and the area have a lot of thrift shops and cool spots which we enjoyed. The AP Café a few blocks away is to recommend!
Penny was a lovely host and even though we didn't get to meet her in person she made sure we had everything we needed and we felt right at home.
The building was a family building and nobody made a noise in the building we were staying in after 22:00. But the apartment isn't the most quiet. We didn't complain because we were not bothered by it but the apartment is not for sensitive souls that can't handle a radiator, some traffic and neighbours.
