We had a great stay at Agnes' place! It's always a challenge to find pet-friendly Airbnbs that work for our dog reactive dog, Lucy. This place was a great location close to the 1 train that goes into midtown, and parking was fairly easy and best of all, free. We were pretty nervous to be driving into the city but this house is close to the highway and we pretty much didn't move our car the whole weekend after getting here. The actual home is cozy and comfortable despite being an older property. The bathroom was spacious and modern. We loved being able to play games on the PS4 on a night in and there are plenty of books and boardgames for a rainy night.
A few things to note, none were of major concern to us:
- The home is very unique and rooms are smaller and some with sloped ceilings. We didn't have any issues with this but those who are taller may want to look closely at the photos
- At the time of our stay, there was construction happening in the unit below us. We didn't have an issue with this as it wasn't that loud, and at one point Agnes reached out about shutting the water off for a few hours, which was courteous of her and we were perfectly fine with this, being able to schedule a time that worked for us.
- The unit has a doorway under the stairs that must connect to the other units in the home/building, with a sign that says "not an entrance." I was aware that this was an entryway as I read a previous review about it. One of the nights, a man working on the construction entered through there unexpectedly and announced himself. We were upstairs and were alarmed by the sound at first. Agnes reached out immediately after to apologize and explain it was a miscommunication on her part. We were a bit spooked and glad our dog was not downstairs when it happened as we didn't want her to get defensive. We probably would have been more spooked if I hadn't read that review ahead of time.
