The house has some aesthetic updates, but is generally a little bit older (bathrooms/kitchen/etc). We didn’t spend a ton of time in the house as we did spend quite a lot of time exploring Toronto. We enjoyed the snacks and waters she provided for us, and the host is extremely communicative and even accommodated for us to have a slight earlier check in. The one item that ultimately dropped from 5 stars to 4 is due to the location. To get to the heart of downtown you must cross through a rather sketchy area, we tried many different routes but each time we’re faced with some rather sketchy people. Ultimately, we primarily ubered around and kept any walking around the neighborhood to daylight and in groups.
