We had a fairly comfortable two week stay at the flat, but the place would definitely benefit from better property management and some minor upgrades.
The pros:
> Good location: located on a quiet street just a few blocks from Haymarket Station, with numerous cafes, take-out places, grocery store and shops nearby
> The flat is spacious with good sized living room and bedroom, high ceilings, some nice period details, and a pretty view from the bedroom to a back garden filled with beautiful flowers
> Furnishings (including the bed) are comfortable, and kitchen is well stocked with dishes/pots & pans
> Check in and key access all went as planned
Cons, many fixable with better management and some minor upgrades:
> The flat is looking rather shabby: mold near the bathroom ceiling and window sills, stained carpet, fraying throw pillows, a broken window shade
> Cleanliness was not great: most visible spaces were clean, but some cabinet interiors were grungy, found dried macaroni under the toaster, unfolded bedding in the wardrobe closet, etc.
> House manual doesn't have accurate instructions for some appliances (e.g., dish washer and clothing washer), which meant we had to call Altido (the management company) several times, wait for replies, and borrow our family's home clothes washer while we waited for accurate instructions.
> More lighting in the living room would really help those of us who still read!
Overall, an adequate flat, and better than that if the cons are fixed.
