Harry Potter Sweet Suites

If you still decide to stay, one tip I can give you is try to leave/arrive at the Taylor Ave/Galer St bus stop. It's just a short walk to the property. Yes, going to Aurora Ave/Galer St bus stop is quicker and will be recommended on Google maps, but you have to climb a huge flight of steps. Also, it is EXTREMELY sketchy and dangerous during the night time. Trust me - do it once and you'll understand. The one positive is the neighborhood seems like it's mostly college residents so it doesn't feel as dangerous as it probably should be. Been saving this review until I got my $200 deposit back (the first red flag) because the host (Vince) genuinely seems like the type to make something up just to get some of that deposit back as a retaliation against a bad review. I made the mistake and booked this stay prior to reading the google reviews. Big mistake. Go read them. Similar to others, I was under the assumption the entire space would be mine. This is entirely wrong and you only get a room to yourself. You can hear literally everything and I was kept all night from the noise of the other people walking around, laundry running, and the shower noise...My god. Even once the shower is done, you can hear the constant dripping. The other residents will make or break your stay. Worst of all, I came into the room the first night and immediately noticed there were ants everywhere. I immediately notified Vince and informed him I'd like a refund so I could book a stay elsewhere. Mind you, a giant pile of ants was under the baseboard of the bed so the cleaner was obviously aware of the ant infestation. His response? Telling me he would notify the cleaner then telling me there was ant spray under the bathroom sink (there wasn't btw, but either way, I wouldn't have wanted to go to sleep right after spraying). I kept pushing that I would vastly prefer a refund so I could book a stay elsewhere as no solution would be immediate for ants if you've ever dealt with an ant infestation. Spraying is only temporary. It also made me question the cleanliness of the bed (i.e. potential bed bugs). No matter what I said, the $300-400 of profit was just really important to Vince I guess. I put up for it for the night and Vince told me the cleaner would be coming the next day. They never came. I stayed 6 days and 5 nights, and she never did a follow up as the ants were always there.
