    There wasn't enough bathroom soap and toilet paper placed there for our 4 days there, so that was uncomfortable but we made due

    The studio was right next to the Toyota Center and within walking distance to the rest of downtown and public transportation. They communicated really well with us about check-in and check-out. The space was simple and comfortable.

    Wish there were more than one pillow per person, had to use decorative pillows for additional support which was awkward. Location is great, but don't expect it to quiet down before 2:30AM. Ear plugs were provided.

    Great location, all amenities for an extended stay available.

    The light on the AC was bright but it was cold outside so we just turned it off. It was a bit loud from cars outside but we appreciated the earplugs the host provided. The pillows were flat, the only real thing I'd change would be to have better pillows to sleep on. Otherwise the place was perfect. Would love to stay again.

    Such a cute place close to Toyota Center, George R Brown and Discovery Green and lots of food places to eat. There was everything in the apartment that we needed. Lots of mirrors, coffee and even a toothbrush, since I forgot mine. Plenty of space for a couple The bed was comfortable and the space was very inviting.

    I have a ton of crap when I go places, having a baby and all. The building being well over 100 years old, well into the 1800s no elevator. I had to haul so much stuff up the stairs. Wasn't pleasant. Can't really complain, that's not their fault, just an inconvenience. There was one issue I had with the room itself. There were small broken bits of plastic all over the floor. I have a toddler who puts everything in his mouths. Being paranoid, I found them all immediately. At least most of them. It would appear the room wasn't swept... That would be the only issue.

    This is a very old building. I actually like old buildings. My grandmother owned a Victorian house, so it felt special. The Aesthetic they were going for seemed very 90's based. It was somewhat funny to see, but I did enjoy it. Red paint, fancy pictures. Just like every building ever.

    We did have a couple nights where neighbors were very noisy right outside our windows.

    The studio apartment was very clean and recently renovated. The host responded to questions promptly. Very comfortable, nice kitchen and eating area. Perfect walkable location to the convention center.

    Caveat emptor.

    The apartment was nice enough, but the building is a dump. The porch in the photos looked nice. In reality, there was no nice furniture and others had access to it - for smoking, for visiting, etc. It meant no privacy inside since the bedroom & dining area windows looked onto the porch. There were no nice views from any window. Traffic noise and loud talking was horrendous and bothersome until well after midnight. The space was described as sound-proof. IT IS NOT. The basic rental fee was reasonable but the cleaning fee is really high, especially given what I noticed after arrival. When I plugged in my power strip (there are never enough outlets in old buildings), I saw a lot of dust under the bed. The coffeemaker had not been cleaned - there were old grounds and condensation in it. The bathroom hand soap dispenser was empty. A good cleaning crew would have taken care of these. There's no sitting area - a love seat and ottoman would have been nice instead of 2 basic armless chairs. I did not appreciate being surprised by a mandatory $250 damage deposit about an hour before I arrived. I had to download a cash app in order to take care of that. That should have been made clear BEFORE BOOKING. I also didn't get word that the entrance to the building is actually on Bell Street until right before arrival - I didn't check email until after I'd parked far away then realized I should have been on another street. Communication was inadequate. While the host tells guests there is no free parking except on Sundays, she fails to say is that you are limited to only 3 hours in any space AND you cannot renew it, which means you have to move your car when time expires. This creates logistical nightmares when one attends a nearby event because you have to leave the event, move the car elsewhere, and then do it again until 6 p.m. Lots near the Toyota Center are quite expensive when there's an event taking place, so parking can be a real problem.

    Location was good - close to the George Brown Convention Center, where the event I came for was held.

    The studio was ok, I understood what people were saying about the air conditioner. But if you followed her rules it was pretty decent. I had to let the room cool off first then I was able to let kitchen cool off. Which was hot muggy and humid, there is a lot of loud music from the street. But it’s also downtown, in my opinion there is nothing to go to in walking distance. The ceiling fan part in the dining room does not work, only the light part. And the bathroom is a ok size, just watch your head or you will bang it on the sink. And also if watch the shower. It’s very slippery. Other then that the bed was nice and comfortable the room was very spacious, the host was quick in her response.

    The outside if the apartment was untidy. The apartment is old but certain things like the door handles can ge repaired. Pots in kitchen terrible. Not cleaned. Lukewarm water in shower. No pressure. The bath tap only opens half way. Complained but no result.

    The apartment was good enough with a lot of amenities.
