Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
1. Worst place I have stayed at so far. No similarities between picture and the properties. 2. Unprofessional staff, didn’t accommodate early check-in and asked for $ to get me in 3. When I agreed to pay staff said they’ll send me the link but never received it and I had to wait at metro station for 2 hrs as they were unreachable in the morning 4. Zero privacy 5. Unclean washroom 6. Unsafe neighbourhood, full of junkies. I saw a guy peeing right outside of the property. 7. Sofas are torned apart 8. I feel cheated for my stay here.

Small but comfortable

Small but comfortable beds. Great location. Only downside is that there is only one bathroom. I would probably stay again.

Andrew, was helpful and accommodating. He was knowledgeable about everything PodShare. (They're a small business that is big on community). He bought steaks for two people whom we celebrated their birthday a few days into my stay. A few of us chipped in & contributed. Abby, the manager, made two delicious cakes. It was a good time 👍.

The place itself is okay, but their code to open the place up didn't work (I didn't get it wrong, I had the correct code), so with it being 4AM and no one being around to help, I had to sleep in my car. This was a two day trip, this happened on the first day. I didn't expect to get a refund for that night but for the night after too where I told them I won't be returning? BS
