We loved the little basement room. Michael and Lillian responded immediately to any small requests or issues. You can hear the subway however we didn’t mind the soft rumble underground. If you are doing a longer stay the small bathroom sink is the only place to wash dishes or clothes so keep that in mind ( which is exactly as represented in their photos). Location was amazing for us. Subway across the street, tons of cafes and shops for breakfast ( Ma Maison for croissants and Bloor and Jane restaurant for a hearty breakfast at one of the oldest places in TO- very entertaining staff :)) a nice pub half a block away. Janchenckos for hearty Ukrainian fare. Lovely street and home. Thumbs up!
