I really enjoyed my stay at Christina's place, which was an incredible value for something in such close proximity to the heart of the city. It took me only 13 minutes to walk (with luggage) to the apartment from the Greyhound bus terminal at Bay/Dundas. The apartment was just as described - a rather generously-sized unit in an older building - and while it wasn't fancy it was clean and quite comfortable. I didn't hear even a single sound from any other unit in the building until my third morning. There was a minor issue with work that needed to be done due to a burst pipe, but Christina warned me about this prior to my arrival and all of the work was finished well before I was settled in for the night. Frankly the immediate neighbourhood has a bit of a reputation for being a gritty sort of place, but it's not unsafe and I ran into only a single panhandler (and I walked everywhere). If you are looking for a comfortable home base while working or exploring in downtown Toronto, Christina's place is really tough to beat.
