Unfortunately we did not have a good stay at Ardalan's place. We stayed for almost two months, and we don't recommend the place for longer stays, for the following reasons:
1) Little room for clothes; There are not enough drawers and there is no wardrobe, so if you plan to take your clothes out of your luggage, you are out of luck. In the bedroom there is a door that looks like a wardrobe, but actually has pipes inside taking all the space.
2) There is no table for eating; There is only a desk that only fits one person. We had to get an old table that was outside (belonged in the basement) and bring it in and clean it well so we could have meals while sitting. Also, there is only one chair.
3) There is only a mini-fridge, so if you are staying longer it will be difficult to buy food, because there is no room for it in the fridge. Also, when we arrived the freezer shelf was totally covered with frost, so almost no space to store food.
4) There is no blender or mixer.
5) The shower is reeeeally tight, and has limited space to put toiletries.
6) The lighting is very poor in the kitchen.
7) The kitchen drawers, utensils, fridge and microwave were not well cleaned, so we had to do it ourselves before using them.
8) Poor sound isolation from the upstairs unit, so you can hear people walking around the place.
9) The main drain was clogged, so when it rained, the rainwater would return through the central drain in the kitchen, making the area completely wet and dirty. This happened twice during our stay.
There are some good things about the place that deserve to be mentioned:
1) The bedroom area is good, with a large bed, nice TV with a chromecast. The internet also worked very well.
2) The kitchen is reasonably well equipped (except for blender). The washer and dryer are also a good thing to have available.
3) The place is very well located, within a short waking distance there is a Shoppers, Dollarama, No Frills, Tim Hortons, Subway, Pizza Hut, Popeye's, Pizza Pizza and a public library. Walking a bit farther you have a Beer Store, Eglinton West station and a nice sushi place (sushi Zuki).
4) Ardalan is a very good host, always available and always trying to solve any problems. He answers messages quickly and does everything possible to improve your stay. The remote check-in and check-out makes things easy.
For the reasons presented above we did not have a good stay, but I would say that if you are looking for a inexpensive place to stay for one or two weeks, that is very well located, go ahead, you will probably enjoy your time at Ardalan's place. For longer stays, though, maybe check someplace else.
