Me and my friend had never been to Toronto. As college students we decided to rent an airbnb rather than staying at a hotel to save money.
We thought this place was close to transportation so the fact that we were 25 min away from the center didn't scare us. Unfortunately we realized we were really far from everything. The house is 10 minutes away by foot from any kind of transportation. And the 25 minutes were significant whenever we wanted to go eat downtown and visit.
Also, we read the rules of the house and it was written to take your shoes off at the entrance of the house. This wouldn't have been a problem if the floor was clean, however it wasn't. Same thing with the bathroom, the floor was covered with hair and hairs and the shower curtain was covered with mold. The bathroom faucet was broken and overall the place wasn't clean except for our room, sheets and towels.
The fact that this place is shared with other renters from Airbnb is probably why the place wasn't clean.
It is a self check-in and check-out so we weren't able to talk to the hosts about it. Otherwise, the neighborhood is calm and safe so walking to the train station was alright and the place was convenient.
