We were hoping to save some money by going this route instead of a hotel for overall price and a kitchen, and we did save money! There is major construction happening next door, so that was loud, and no AC, though we did find a window unit in the closet that saved the day. There were also stand fans. There is a garage space included, but it is for a very compact car, so plan accordingly. Overall, the apartment got the job done. Amazing? No. Good enough, yes. We weren't in the room a lot. The kitchen was very well stocked for anything you might want to cook. You can walk to the grocery store (Lidl) in about 15 mins, so you can really save a lot of eating money. I would recommend a cheat sheet for the trash sorting- that was confusing! We were dropping a student off at Franklin, and they explained it to her, so that's how we figured out the trash. If you need a decent place with a full kitchen and 2 full bathrooms near Franklin, this is a good place. Bring a little car! Oh and stairs, you need to be able to handle stairs for this place. A cover for the sofa would be good too. It's mismatched and has some holes. ##### Susanna Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Historic Hotels in Gettysburg](https://www.expedia.ca/Gettysburg-Hotels-Historic-Hotel.0-0-d181441-tHistoricHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Saka Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Saka-Hotel-Kyoto.h29658252.Hotel-Information) > > [Resorts Deal](https://www.expedia.ca/Deal-Resort-Hotels.d3000447227-aaResortHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Munich City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Munich-City-Centre-Munich-Hotels.0-n6200413-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Winery Hotels in Clarington](https://www.expedia.ca/Clarington-Hotels-Winery-Hotel.0-0-d6156746-tWineryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Boat Harbour Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Hervey-Bay-Hotels-Boat-Harbour-Apartments.h3576052.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Hotels in Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Quebec-Lake-Hotels.0-0-d11183-tLakeHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Cottages Kemp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kemp-Cottages.d3000458740-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [VISIONAPARTMENTS Lugano](https://www.expedia.ca/Lugano-Hotels-VISIONAPARTMENTS-Lugano.h105315832.Hotel-Information) > > [Shopping Hotels in Dana Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Dana-Point-Hotels-Shopping-Hotel.0-0-d6752-tShoppingHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Prestige Du Lac Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Lugano-Hotels-Prestige-28.h38981613.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Dredgers Key](https://www.expedia.ca/Dredgers-Key-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d180165-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Cookshire-Eaton (YSC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ysc/toronto-to-sherbrooke) > > [Flights from Hanoi (HAN) to Nanning (NNG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/han/nng/hanoi-to-nanning) > > [Flights from Kirkland Lake, ON (YKX) to Toronto (YTO-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykx/yto/kirkland-lake-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/ord/mumbai-to-chicago) > > [WestJet Calgary (YYC) to Narita (NRT) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-calgary-intl-to-narita-intl/ws/yyc/nrt) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Spata-Artemida (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ath/toronto-to-athens) ### Cars > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver.d178315-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Budget Car Rentals In Kelly Hill Conservation Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-Car-Rentals-In-Kelly-Hill-Conservation-Park.d6085915-c39.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Mahood Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Mahood-Beach-Lang-Bay.d6304535.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Arue](https://www.expedia.ca/Arue.dx6034576) > > [Visit Central Luzon](https://www.expedia.ca/Central-Luzon.dx553248635975176984)
