    It smelled like urine overwhelmingly so The area was sketchy The door to the suite didn't shut properly so the lock wouldn't engage. The bathroom door was broken and wouldn't shut unless slammed. There was no shampoo or conditioner which was okay in the end because the shower was disgustingly old and had mold on the walls. The stove, the coffee maker, the microwave and the toaster oven are very old and outdated. Looks like something got bought at a thrift store in bad shape. The bed itself was very comfortable but due to everything else we were kind of nervous to sleep on the bed so we just slept on top of sheets just in case there may be bed bugs.

    The bed was comfortable

    The space was not very clean, sand in the shower, bedding was mismatched and sheet wouldn’t stay on the mattress because it wasn’t fitted. Everything was in disrepair and DIY hobbled together. No outlets anywhere convenient. No outlets in the bathroom for my wife to blow dry and straighten her hair, no outlets by the night stand. No thermostat, just old radiator heat which made the room super hot, so we had to sleep with a window open and listen to every car drive by and every siren in the city all night. The windows also don’t have screens, so we woke up to a pigeon in the room with us. The shower had a USED bar of soap available and broken shampoo and body wash bottle just laying in the tub. We were required to keep our shoes at the entry of the building rather than in our room which was weird. The bathroom door didn’t latch. The bed frame was crammed into a space it doesn’t fit and I had to crawl over it or over my wife to get into and out of bed. It snowed and was barely cleared, so we trudging through 6 inch deep snow and slipping on ice to get in and out of the building. Apparently all the locals said this is a sketchy part of town but we felt perfectly safe in that regard and we had a parking spot for our car on the property so that was nice. The owner/manager was a very nice person. There’s a few places in walking distance including restaurants, bars, and a brewery that were great and the space is very close to other places in the city so that was nice.

    There was dust everywhere in the room. The bathroom toilet ws partially under a counter. There was no hand soap to wash at sink. Tub was just a cheap curtain, allowing for no privacy. There were just 2 bath towels no hand towels, and no facecloths. Luckily I had brought our soap etc The bathroomdoor handle was coming off so couldn'tclose the door.. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. Very cheap sheets. The TV was just internet no satellite or other provider so very limited programming. The TV remote control is missing a battery as was the lock for the door. Will definitely not recommend. Not a very good Air B&B. Price was not as stated on booking. com And extra 50$ for some kind of hidden fee. Cost 109 for 1 night. And 50$ damage deposit was also added which supposedly be refunded. Time will tell.

    There was 1 parking spot in the back of the property. The host was kind enough to offer a different room due to the stairs being a challenge for me.

    The host has good intentions but some of the comforts that North Americans expect were absent or unsuitable. For example, we expect two sheets, one on the mattress, and one to sleep under, plus a blanket. Two smaller pillows should be there instead of a single large one. Also, the bathroom was an unacceptable renovation with old , worn, crumbling wall finishing. The towels were also old and cheap. The kitchen was just ok and should supply coffee and a coffee maker. The steps going down to the basement were hazardous for anyone, like me, over 65. Parking was good. There needs to be written instructions to use the tv and channels.

    There wasn't any AC in our suite #3, the fridge and TV were off or not working. Also noticed some insects in the kitchen, there was a bottle of insecticide there but still made us wonder. The latch on the door for the room was also sensitive, have to carefully line it up with the door frame. We left early due to my friend having trouble sleeping with the room temperature.

    The owner was very friendly and it was affordable

    The fridge was off and smelled gross. Lots of sketchy worn out elements like window screens, loose shower heads. There was dishes left to dry on the rack from previous customers and the cleaning rag wash wet and bunched up in the sink. There was some bugs in the unit. The door wasn't really soundproof, the stairs are very noisy and creaky, could here other renters going up and down with their luggage. The neighborhood felt a bit unsafe at night, but so did the whole city and downtown.

    Private room. Owner was friendly and recommended things to see and nearby restaurants. He asked questions to make better recommendations. There was a window ac unit that did the job. Smart tv with youtube was convinient. Despite being old and rag tag renovated, there wasn't any mold. Smelled clean.

    The room was very outdated. There were issues with the room I had booked so I was moved to another room. I could not open any windows even though there was a balcony. It was also very noisy and I found it very difficult to sleep.

    The host was very friendly and helpful and agreed to refund me part of my booking fees.

    The place is large except for the bathroom, it seems like the heating is not working very well, but it wasn't freezing. The kitchen, bathroom and chairs could have been cleaner.

    The host is super nice, accommodated my wishes of an earlier arrival, brought tea, checked in with me, offered a late check-out and helped carry my luggage. Internet is good and the mattress makes for a good night sleep.

    Unclean, unsanitary products from previous visitors, dusty, dirty, fruit flies everywhere, crowded with unnecessary furniture, TV didn't connect to the WiFi, so sitting in silence, after having to send my children away to safer accommodations, having to spend the majority of my 'stay' away due to feeling unsafe, I had to return to spend the night to ensure.our belongings were intact.

    The simplicity of the check in system. The caretaker was very understanding upon receiving my complaint, and allowed a refund for the remainder of the unspent days, despite there being a no-refund policy

    No honest description! Very very dirty!smell awful!make the attic like a room and rent it to people!! No responsibility! Dirty bed !bathroom was full of Mold!how is posdible to put this place on booking.com!!!!

    Be careful about booking this place! The owner of this property was not honest in the listing description! We were given Unit 5, which turned out to be an attic unit — extremely small, very dirty, and with a terrible smell. Despite the listing mentioning a balcony, there was none — only a tiny window. There was an old, small fan at the far end of the kitchen, which did nothing to cool down the attic space or get rid of the awful odor. As soon as we entered the unit, we were forced to leave and ended up spending the entire night in our car. After 3–4 hours of arguing with the property owner and negotiating with Booking’s customer service, we got nowhere. The owner took $222 from us, and despite the fact that we never stayed there, the money was not refunded. As someone who has been using this website for over 15 years, I find it shameful that such a property is even listed here. I trusted the platform’s credibility and booked this place based on the information provided. The unit was so filthy that even the bathtub couldn’t be imagined as usable. I can’t speak for the other units, but as for Unit 5, it should honestly be described as an attic dungeon with very bad air and a small, dirty fan — that would be a more truthful description and let guests decide for themselves whether they want to book it.

    The additional $50 is not included in the price while booking , you just observed it when you are done with payment ! This should be well detailed for instance :how much Tax How much cleaning and how much fees and this have to be included before rather than becoming as surprise once you are paying

    I don’t even know where to start... The moment we stepped inside, we were overwhelmed by a nauseating odor that seemed to be embedded in every inch of the property. My colleague couldn’t even sleep because of it. The building is ancient, poorly maintained, and looks like it’s falling apart. The doors are flimsy and look like they could be kicked in with a light push. To make matters worse, the front door was wide open all day, and no matter what we did, we couldn’t get it to lock. The noise level was unbearable! Thanks to the thin, decrepit windows, we could hear everything from the street, and to top it off, someone was screaming all day in the basement like a scene from a horror movie. Dirt, sand, and mysterious stains covered nearly every surface. The place looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned in ages. It was impossible to feel comfortable or safe. And the owner? Incredibly rude and unresponsive. When I tried to call to address these issues, he ignored me completely. Don’t even dream of getting a refund if you end up in this nightmare, I spent two days with customer support on the phone to get at least smth from it In summary, if you hate yourself this place is perfect for you

    Location looks pretty clean and nice
