5/5. Coreen is a great host with a great basement unit. I felt very welcome during my entire stay and felt that Coreen cared about me having a good experience in her unit. The unit itself has all the amenities you could need, and specifically in the summer the space was was cool and comfortable. Comfy bed. The unit is 10 min walk from St Clair West station/the University Subway Line (Line 1/yellow), which was a great bonus to me going either to York University or downtown. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet, but it has restaurants and lots of different take-away options a few minutes away. It is also near green areas and a gym, and grocery shopping is easily done in the same building as the subway station. I was concerned about the beam going through the kitchen and bedroom, but with my 182cm/6ft my head didn’t reach it.
I would highly recommend anyone going to Toronto to stay with Coreen!
