We found that this was a really great value! Very affordable for the ever expensive Toronto. We did not meet chris, but it was an easy check in and out experience.
The kitchen, although not something we were supposed to use (only the microwave and bowls/plates etc) was quite dirty, but we respected that there was a tenant and left our opinion at that as our room was nice and clean and had lots of nice touches to it.
The only other thing was that the bed was very uncomfortable. Like so bad that our backs and shoulders were in pain all day every day. Plus the upstairs dog barks nonstop at the slightest noise, we were told to just “ignore” the dog, easier said than done, especially if it happened in the middle of the night.
The neighbourhood was relatively quiet though and it was a really nice area to walk around and enjoy, with lots of cute shops and cafes nearby.
Again, this is a steal for the location and i would recommend it, but just keep the things i mentioned in mind!
