Spent 4 weeks at Mina's Airbnb and enjoyed the experience very much. Mina was the sweetest Airbnb host anyone could find and one heck of a talented artist! Because of her excellent taste in art, the room was well nicely decorated and highly functional.
I came across quite a few bugs but it was probably due to it was summer time. Most basements do get cold even on a hot summer day in Toronto, so I would suggest you bring indoor socks and long sleeved indoor home clothes.
Again, just like all basements, noises from upstairs are inevitable. However, compared to most upstairs neighbours I've had in the past, Mina and her sons were pretty quiet already. Mina usually woke up and started walking around in the house between 7:30am - 8:30am, depending on which day. I personally didn't mind too much.
Senlac is a major road and Bus 98 runs by every 15 minutes, very convenient. Walking to Finch and Senlac catching Bus 36 to reach either Finch or Finch West is also very convenient. As long as you have a Presto Card, you are in good hands. Winter might be too cold to bus, but when it isn't cold, public transit is so great at this location, no need to get a car.
Overall, definitely one of my top 3 best Airbnb experiences and trust me, I travel A LOT. Take care, Mina! Hugs!
