My wife and I booked this apartment at very short notice after the host of the property that we originally booked pulled out two weeks before we were due to depart for Canada. We were incredibly fortunate that such a lovely property was available at such short notice which is doubtless due to the fact that it has only recently been put up for rent through airbnb.
The property has been refurbished to a very high standard and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. There were issues with hot water and the washing machine in the first couple of days which were quickly dealt with by the owners and are not likely to recur. We were given a very generous gift as compensation for inconvenience without any request on our part.
This is a basement apartment and you can hear movement etc upstairs from time to time which i would guess means that the upstairs neighbors can also hear you, so it is necessary to be mindful of this and try to keep noise down.
Cabbagetown is a very desirable and culturally diverse neighbourhood with lots of good eateries to choose from. The main drag of downtown Toronto is just a few blocks away. The nearby Loblaws on Carlton Street is a fabulous supermarket if you want to prepare your own meals. As a location, the apartment is just about perfect. We really loved this place and would not hesitate to go back.
