A cozy little basement apartment in an amazing part of town. Little Portugal offers some of the best food & drink options we’ve found in Toronto, along with a super chill vibe. The apartment has most of the things you need for a stay, stays at a comfortable temperature even on the hot days, and there aren’t any disruptive neighbours to worry about as upstairs is an office. It’s also conveniently sited a short walk from both Dundas St & Queen St making it decently connected, serving as a good base to explore from.
We would stay here again but there are a couple of things to be aware of if you’re booking this unit:
- the AC isn’t adjustable from the unit. Texting the host was okay for adjusting if required but it’s not the most convenient
- the bed is situated a few feet from the AC unit / furnace which means it’s fairly loud most of the time
- being a cool, fairly dark basements means that it’s a bit of a hotspot for bugs, there’s a lot of centipedes and millipedes hanging around.
- there’s a fairly well equipped kitchen ( no oven ) but not really anywhere to comfortably sit and enjoy a meal
Host was super helpful and responsive to our requests :)
