Me and my partner stayed in this shared apartment for 2 nights, it had a private very basic room for yourself with a code to get in and a own bathroom within the bedroom, it had a mini fridge that was a huge plus as the one you have to share in the kitchen was disgustingly dirty with rotting food and milk that had gone off.
It’s perfect for those who need it only for a couple of days if you have no intention on cooking. With it being a shared kitchen we found that there was constant filth in the kitchen. ( there was a pan with scrambled eggs for 3 days and who knows how many days it was already there for and how many more it stayed after we left. Amongst other things...)
There was lack of cutlery such as forks, knives, spoons, plates, mugs, etc. (2 of everything) Bearing in mind its an apartment with 6 bedrooms that fit 2 people in each! The very few items were always in the sink dirty till the next person needed them, if they even were there to have, as some people would keep them in their rooms to make sure they had it available for when they needed it.
There’s no microwave, lack of pillows and sheets, you couldn’t turn the tempeture up in the room so we were cold.
It could really use a bedside table for simple use and a little lamp so you’re not in pitch black trying to find your way back to bed when you turn the main light off.
Location is great! Bus stop in to the city center just outside the apartment, walking distance to the botanic gardens and Olympic stadium. Taxi to the city was around CN$15
