This place is a little out of the way but very close to the subway station, which makes it a great jump-off point for seeing sites around Toronto. There's pharmacies, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby so you could prepare meals at the apt. As other people mentioned, lots of stairs but this would only be an issue if you had mobility issues. Very stylish and cozy apt. Some written instructions in the apt would be handy for using Apple TV - we looked high and low for a remote bc the keyboard wasn't working only to find a battery was missing (and found in a kitchen drawer?) Yes washer and dryer are present and while we intended to use them were unable to bc no detergent was provided and it was not worth it to buy some for a load of laundry. One bedroom gets VERY bright during in the early morning and remains that way the entire day which meant one of us slept on the couch. Overall a nice place and the host was kind and very quick to respond to our messages. Make sure to get the instructions for entering the building ahead of time!
