The cutest little place in an awesomely active area. The garden is a great outdoor mostly private space where we could pop out for smokes without having to go out on the street. It got hot in there in the daytime but the AC saved us big time. Lots of close shops and corner stores and easy access to the subway and all sorts of cafes and restaurants. Adorable healthy cafe for brekky just outside the door as well!
We loved everything about this place except for the cleanliness. The garden could use a little bit of love, the chairs were all covered in layers of leaves and debris, could have used a sweep essentially, but we like the overgrown vibe otherwise. Unfortunately the inside could also use some love. The place needed a deep clean, and in particular the bathroom was really quite nasty. Like heavy black mould level nasty. We spent time cleaning it ourselves in order to be comfortable, which seriously took the shine off the place. With a deep clean it would be a great spot. Without it, we were disappointed to see it in this state upon arrival. The bedding and towels and etc were all clean and no issues there, solely the bathroom and the dust levels. Nothing that can’t be fixed.
The host was communicative and kind and I don’t wish to leave a bad review, because I would stay here again. But seriously, please get somebody in to detail the bathroom. It was straight grimey.
