Look elsewhere :/
Pros
- Water pressure was great. - Reasonably responsive landlord.
Cons
- A lot of traffic cuts through Calyer st to get to McGuinness Ave and there is a lot of honking in the early morning, around 5am. This woke us up often. - The bins next to the front door are infested with rats. On one occasion I had a rat run up my leg while I was trying to open the front door. - Expect regular rent increases of 20% - 25% or more. The landlord is very aggressive about collecting more and more money each year. - The floors are quite creaky and thin, so you will hear your upstairs neighbors as they walk around or play music. - Internet is very slow. - There is a very big construction project planned for one of the adjacent buildings (complete demolition and rebuild). - In winter the heat often stopped working for days at a time. We were provided small heaters by the landlord which increased our electricity bills.
