The wall-mounted panels, which appeared to be intended for noise cancellation, were purely decorative and provided no noticeable sound reduction. Noise from the upper level was clearly audible throughout the stay, even at midnight. Additionally, parking was limited, and the situation was further impacted by the fact that the owner sleeps on the property, occupying one of the already scarce parking spots, which further reduced availability for guests.

When I Indicated to the Landlord that one of the Tenants was being Very NOISY, he Spoke with her Immediately, and when she Refused to Comply, he Kindly Asked her to Leave! I was able to Wash and Dry my Clothes at a Reasonable Price. The Landlord Needs to Do the Following concerning the Noise: 1. Softer Slippers 2. Put a Sign stating: Tenants are to Walk Softly, and. Not Run Up and Down the Stairs 3. Carpet the Stairwell. It's Wooden and therefore Makes Plenty Noise when walking or Running on it.

We booked a room at Markham, Toronto, Ontario. After driving for approximately five hours, we arrived at the specified address and contacted the landlord. To our dismay, he informed us that they were fully booked and only had one room left in the basement. Despite my request to inspect and stay in the basement room, he denied us and forced us to relocate to another address. The alternative property was located at Scarborough, which is known to be a dangerous area in Toronto. With no other available accommodations, we reluctantly accepted the change. The room and the bed sheets were dirty, the driveway was blocked, the front door left open which was not secured, the noise levels were unbearable with fighting, running, and screaming occurring throughout the night. So, my wife was terrified, crying the entire night, and neither of us were able to sleep. I will write an official complaint letter to the Expedia CA’s customer service to address this issue and follow up with them to pay more attention to these kinds of landlords.

The property owner is purposely deceitful. He advertises the the Markham address but he has no rooms available. The actual address is 1 Purcell is Scarborough. Those in Toronto know how unsafe Scarborough could be. I will be writing an official complaint letter to Expedia.
