The apartment was clean and the beds were good. Water pressure in the shower was decent, and the kitchen had the usual array of things, including a dishwasher. The location was ideal for public transit by bus to the ROM and Casa Loma.

The apartment is up several flights of stairs, and the heat is centrally controlled. The door to the apartment is right on the stairs, so there's no landing to rest a suitcase or groceries on while you work the lock. Also, the light for the main hall is outside the locking door to the apartment, which makes it a bit of a production when you go to bed.

While we were there, our hosts were doing construction, which was mostly non-intrusive, but there was a lot of audible hammering and sawing and thumping, and there were cloth tarps laid down over all the stairs. We were also asked not to touch the settings on the radiator in one room, or open the window in the other, as things were being repaired. We may just have come at a bad time.

Our one biggest drawbacks was discovering that the pots and pans were stored in the oven, so please be very careful if you stay here, and remove them to a safer location, before, say, preheating the oven. Some of the pots have plastic handles, and that's a potentially serious fire hazard. We almost discovered this the hard way. Thankfully no harm was done.

Overall, the experience was positive. The hosts were friendly, and there was always someone to answer the phone if we had a problem. We were able to have friends over without noise complaints, and we were able to cook in the kitchen without difficulty.
