Dale and Karen's home is lovely, and the basement space is the perfect size for two people to stay very comfortably. Being able to have a private living room is a great benefit. However, do not make the mistake of assuming that because you have a private floor that you will experience autonomy in the house. You have no private entrance (have to use the main door), you do not have access to all the storage space in the basement, and you are sharing the house with the hosts and an additional air bnb tenant so there will always be people milling around the main floor. Dale is very friendly and understanding, and its not uncomfortable to run into other guests, but you will feel as though you are under 24/7 supervision. If you are planning on seeing friends who live in the city, you will have to ask for permission for them to come see you at the space that you are paying for, or you will be asked to make them leave. This location is ideal for adults looking for a quiet Toronto getaway, but if you are young and do not sleep before midnight, you will feel as though you are imposing on your hosts throughout your stay. All in all: great location, comfortable home, but no privacy.
