We stayed here for 1 month in winter. In many apartment buildings of Toronto, short term leases for entire apartments aren't allowed. As the building where the apartment is located, allows short term rentals, it is a good find to come across this apartment. Extra kudos for being in North York, near to bayview village.

The apartment has decent heating. On warmer winter days, it is too warm even on the lowest heater setting, so you'll need to leave the window slightly open. If you prefer a breeze but do not want to leave the windows open, there are stand fans for use. There's plenty of towels and bed linens provided. There is actually no washer and dryer in the apartment itself - instead we are to use the shared laundry facilities for the apartment building.

The kitchen is decent, however there is no extractor hood. Use of the stand fan, having windows and the balcony door open is needed during cooking. There is no kettle in the kitchen, but they is a coffee machine.

There are a few beds to choose from. The bedroom bed has a hard mattress that suited my friend. I preferred to use the softer living room beds. There are a good number of wooden cloth hangers in the closet.

Internet connection is speedy and stable. There not much choice of TV channels to watch - you'll need your Netflix. If you have trouble subscribing to the Canadian Netflix, you can buy prepaid cards from supermarkets like Loblaws to pay for a month's subscription.

There is no noise problems from adjoining apartments in the building. No bed bug issues either. The apartment bedroom actually shares a wall with the building cleaning supply storage.

The garden area is visited by quite a few squirrels when weather permits. There is also a decent slope there, which children in the apartment building make use of for tobogganing. Parking spot is in the basement which is good to keep your car out of the winter weather.
