My wife and I stayed at Shiro's place for 2 weeks and we really loved the place. The main USP for us was the location. Everything, ranging from grocery shopping(Freshco, Shoppers drug mart, No frills), restaurants, coffee shops (Tims hortons) wine shop, salon to TTC is such an easy access..all within walking distance of 2 to 8 minutes.
There are several parks nearby for your daily walks/jogs.
The apartment itself was very neat. All basic amenities provided. Checkin and checkout was smooth. Kitchen facilites were great, includes all utensils..we did quite a bit of cooking. Even though there were a few guests in the other rooms some days, it was hardly noisy or disturbing. Few days, it was just us in the entire basement and had the whole place to ourselves.
Even though we never met Shiro, she was quite responsive to our queries. It was kind of her to take a few printouts for me upon request.
The wifi connection was slightly wonky. They have several connections, however the connection that worked for us in our room wouldnt work properly in the kitchen and viceversa. So we had to alternate between connections based on where we were in the house. Not a huge bother though.
All in all, a great place to stay for newly landed people. We would have loved to stay longer if it were a wee less expensive :)
