My girlfriend and I stayed a total of 6 weeks after selling my place down the road and moving into our next home. This unit is on the top floor of a house converted into a few units in a quiet and safe neighborhood – close to transit, restaurants and u-village. The door to the unit is up a number of flights of stairs and then there are a few more stairs within the unit.
Upon arrival, we noticed dust bunnies behind furniture, dust on picture frames, fan vent and heaters, cobwebs in multiple corners and a dried contact lens on a pillow case. In the kitchen, while the majority of the general area was clean, there was some grime above the refrigerator and in/on cabinets above the stove. The hard surfaces in the bathroom were clean. We brought the general cleanliness concerns to Joy’s attention, who was responsive and did arrange for cleaning; however, the end result still left something to be desired. We chose to not ask for further intervention from Joy because of the inconvenience of having to schedule the cleanings and assessments around my and my girlfriend’s schedules. When we arrived, the TV was not operating correctly, requiring us to vacate the space another time for the repairs to be completed.
The mattress in the main bedroom is about the softest mattress imaginable – if you’re someone who likes a soft mattress, you’re in luck. We found the shower cramped and the water pressure never reached more than a dismal stream. The washer and dryer were new, which was nice.
