We had very comfortable stay at Desi's place. My partner and I were there for about a month and had everything we needed. The location is great, in a trendy neighborhood near tons of restaurants and cafes and two large grocery stores. I highly recommend the coffee shop closest by - friendly people, delicious coffee/tea and food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. This area is also super walkable and close to bus and streetcar stops, which can get you anywhere else you want to go in the city. Desi's obviously an experienced host who cares about providing a good experience for her guests, and she's very easy to get in touch with too.
