Mixed feelings about this apartment

good locationpoor isolationwater shutoff

The location IS good for getting around. It's convenient.

I had some issues. The apartment's door did not seem properly isolated, so i heard a lot of noise from the hallway. on one day, the water was shut off. They could have provided water bottles.

The bathroom felt cramped. The bathtub was slippery, I nearly fell a few times. The carpet in the hallway looked worn and the elevator looked quite old.

Convenient Stay Near Davie Street

early check-insimple self-check-insecure parkingconvenient location

Our host, Alexis, provided early check-in which I very much appreciated. Self-check-in was simple! Parking felt secure, and the location near many cafes and stores was a PLUS. The Sonder app gave us all necessary info for the stay.

The windows to the balcony were not clean. the bedroom also had a somewhat musty odor. I think soundproofing was poor.

Dining

9/10

Many food options were available nearby. Made dining easy. I found several restaurants within walking distance that suited my preferences. Several cafes offered quick bites and good coffee, ideal for starting the day.

Rooms

8/10

The one-bedroom apartment included a comfortable queen bed. A sofa bed provided extra sleeping space. The inclusion of a balcony added to the appeal of the room. There were proper amenities available.

Location

The location was great. It's only one alley away from Davie St, the main area. I think the neighborhood had a surprisingly QUIET atmosphere despite its proximity to a busy street.

The apartment was on the 8th floor. The beds were super comfortable. I slept well. The kitchen was nicely equipped. The area offered a choice of restaurants.

I didn't have hot water in the shower during my entire stay. I told customer support about this issue. Even after I left the water running for 20 minutes, it never got hotter than lukewarm.

the kitchen was well appointed. it included everything i needed for cooking (i especially liked the pots and pans!). the location worked great for walking. there were supermarkets, dining options, and the beach all within an easy walk.

i didn't like that there was no daily room service. i had to maintain the room myself, including making the bed and placing bagged rubbish in the corridor. the double bed felt quite soft (i prefer a firm mattress). communication felt less than ideal. it was a surprise to me there wasn't room service.
