The room is spacious, bed comfortable, kitchen well equipped (but no microwave if that is something you are looking for). The building does have a lot of young boisterous children who you will hear during the day and evening. We were there when it was cooler and the heating is uncontrollably hot but open windows help. When Manon is there she sleeps in an open adjacent space in the living room which I mention if that might be too little privacy for you. The building is close to the subway and you must visit the wonderful Greenwood Cemetery.
