My partner and I stayed at MJ and Dan's place for a month this summer and loved every minute of it. The unit has a ton of charm and is very authentically "Toronto" without any sacrifices in terms of modern amenities. The space was bright and airy, and the back deck is perched above a lovely backyard surrounded by trees. It was the perfect place to sit out and enjoy the summer--morning or night. MJ and Dan were terrific hosts, and were pleasant and quick to respond to any questions.
The a/c and fans did a great job keeping us comfortable on some extremely hot and humid days, and there are lots of big windows to open and let air in.
We did quite a lot of cooking over the course of our stay and found the kitchen to be well-equipped.
Other reviewers have mentioned noise from the fitness studio, but my partner and I found the sound from any classes going on to be quite faint and not disruptive at all.
The area is as good as it gets. Short walks to the subway and multiple grocery stores and other retail amenities, plenty of excellent restaurants, High Park, and nice, interesting neighborhoods to walk around. The area is both convenient and has endless options for things to do.
The listing might give the impression that there is in unit laundry, but there isn't. It's not an issue, however, as there is a 24-hour laundromat just next door and it's super easy to just pop in and out of with the laundry basket that's provided.
My partner and I can't imagine having stayed anywhere else in the city. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend MJ and Dan's place to anyone looking for a comfortable spot with plenty of character and virtually limitless access to anywhere else you might like to go in the city.
