I enjoyed my stay at Silke's primarily because it was quiet, self contained and ideally located for my needs. There is a late nigh supermarket close by, the subway is a 2 minute walk and there are a number of descent places to eat withing easy walking distance. During my stay, of 3 months, there were a few issues and concerns that came up, but they were always dealt with quickly and efficiently. On the downside, if you have a car, the street parking out front has some hourly restrictions so you might need to apply for a neighbourhood parking pass if your schedule does not correspond to those time restrictions. There is no 'how to' guide to the apartment, so it might take you a little while to figure out how, or why, things work or don't work. There were some maintenance issues when I left, (cupboard door, sliding walls), it might be worthwhile asking if they have been addressed. This may not be the place for someone looking for a warm "welcome to Toronto, let me show you around", (there are no guide books or 'things to do during your stay in Toronto'), but it does feel like your own place and I appreciated that.
