The basement room and bed was clean but small ~ 10 sq ft. Close to transit stops , shopping, and free parking is a plus. Room was not quiet during my shift work days, lights would turn on/off during unexpected times from those who don't know which switch is which, privacy curtains worked for light but not sound from other guests, (glad to hear this is being fixed shortly. WiFi was strong and excellent. Bed was clean and firm and stable, floors and storage and desk were clean. Glow in the dark spiral staircase was a good night feature. Guests are not always the cleanest a leave around dishes and pots in the sink expecting cleaning somehow. (maybe thinking cleaning is paid for ?). Host was kind and had reasons for the many rules required to sustain an 11 room guest house alone. Large Dining table and lounge chairs and three large fridges and Ironing/iron board and large back yard with tasty apples and BBQ is a plus. New basement door currently in progress will assist in removing the child gate, bicycle lock, curtains, and provide noise suppression and privacy for this area. Overall the stay was good and met my needs.
