The apartment is in a four-unit building with Drake, the owner, living downstairs so he's always easy to get hold of and there to offer assistance when needed. The apartment is a very generously sized (for me travelling alone) one-bedroom with an AC unit in the bedroom that works beautifully. Ceiling is a majestic ten feet which high which adds to the sense of spaciousness.
The place is a bit sparely furnished but of good quality with a nice couch and a comfortable bed. I really liked how the door was locked via an electronic combination that's reset to a unique code for every new guest, which made me feel very secure and obviated my need to carry any keys. The neighbourhood is jarringly quiet for being so close to downtown but that's Toronto, very fine and well-organised and all that you expect in the paradigmatic Canadian city.
The location of this apartment is really its main selling point. You don't need a car; in fact you'd be insane to rely on a car since parking is spare and public transit and biking and walking are all great options. I walked EVERYWHERE. From the massive number of Korean places on Bloor to the hip new places on Harbord to Italian and Portuguese along College to Kensington Market to...basically the entire world at your fingertips in Toronto, this is an area that is just fantastic for the traveller and it's a city that you absolutely do not need a car to explore.
I'd stay here again, absolutely. You should be aware that the place houses other tenants, one other Airbnb on the same level as this apartment and then Drake and his family downstairs and another rental unit above you, and it's an old house with rather thin walls but I never was horribly bothered by footfalls from above (or below or aside me), but the AC unit also functions as a good, loud fan and this helped me to sleep in what is not a solitary hotel-like experience.
