Exceeded My Expectations

I booked a last minute stay with Cheerful and Modern, due to a cancelled flight, and I was pleasantly surprised with the property. Super clean and TONS of space, the host was friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall, the property was very nice and clean, with a fully equipped kitchenette, bathroom, and living room. Additionally, the owner was quick to respond. There are a few downsides, though. A major one is that the listing on Expedia does not tell you that you share the living space and kitchenette with others. Luckily for me, nobody else was in the room across from mine. Outside the building was very icy due to a rain drain running directly over the walkway. I was in the basement portion of the property, which was quite cold, especially at night.

Read the fine print and call the owner!

This stay is a little confusing because you'll end up sharing a room with someone, I thought it was a suite with private washroom and kitchen, but they were shared with another renter which made me leave the place and book a hotel. For the landlord, please make it obvious that you share the amenities with other people.
