This is a basement apartment in an older home, it is what it is. The air conditioners are a bit loud and certain areas would not be suitable for someone more then 6 feet tall. But with that being said, you will not find a more perfect location for the money. Our host, Paul, went over the top stocking snacks, fresh fruit, and some groceries. The money we saved on meals alone was well worth it. The apartment was clean, and although we did not use it, had a laundry area in next room. The neighborhood is diverse and safe, with a Tibetan influence. Streetcars are readily available at both ends of the street. This will definitely be our go to place when we return to Toronto.
