I stayed here with my husband and 3 children. The reviews of location made me concerned- it is located up a narrow alley that is covered with graffiti and bins. It took some time to accurately find, the management were very responsive in helping. Turns out the location was fantastic- walking distance of vintage shops. Fruit market, multiple restaurants in Chinatown. We felt completely safe. The locks were secure and brand new (see other reviews) . The hearing was not working, we were dependent on a space heater that the management dropped over. Would highly recommend based on the location!!!!! Just around the corner, Jimmys coffee has the best coffee and croissants that I have had in a long time! Attached are photos of the area

Complete scam

We got called multiple times throughout the day to submit ID, security deposit and pre-payment via a portal. We got to the apartment and the keypad for the unit had been removed and replaced with a manual lock by the landlord (the property manager claimed this happened sometime between when they called that afternoon for payment and when we arrived), so we weren’t able to access the apartment at all. There were occupancy notices plastered all over the building. This place is a complete scam, they were clearly subleasing illegally and got caught. If you have a reservation, make one elsewhere.

You get what you pay for, it was pretty clean and everything worked properly. A little confusing to find. However we had a good time, we wanted to explore the city and this was a cheap place to stay. Would stay here again

Property was a great size. Cozy beds. However you could not adjust the temp and it was set at 15°C mid November. There was a space heater but it didn’t heat enough for the size of the unit. We all slept with sweaters on

To be honest way better than the review said. However, not 5 star cleanliness but still fine. Also, small kind of sketchy street to get there. But still safe. Perfect for lower budget.

The room we were given was filthy and had not been cleaned from previous Tennants. No sheets towels soap or toilet paper. Dirty sinks beds counters and floors. They ended up giving us another room that was clean but one that didn’t meet the bed requirements for our party.

Me and 3 friends stayed at this property and were pleasantly surprised. When you drive into Kensington market it is definitely a very urban vibe, with graffiti walls. Going up into the apartment it was a little bit sketchy and there was also garbage sprawled all over the walk way. But other than that, the inside was just like the pictures and the AC worked and so did the Wi-Fi. I would absolutely stay here again!

Overall, the property is nice on the inside. They lack a sense of hospitality, the coffee maker doesn't work, there are only two glasses, and one of the bathrooms is faulty. Nothing extraordinary.
