We were in between homes and needed a place to stay that was close to our boys' school, my parents' place, and our future home. Arthur and Basmatee were very welcoming and accommodating. At first we thought the proximity to Harbord street would be too noisy, but the apartment is surprisingly quiet. We hardly noticed the traffic and found it nice to watch the city go by so silently.
The apartment is clean with all that is needed for cooking and dining. The main bed is very comfortable making for relaxing sleeps. One of our sons slept on the bed/couch and the other on a blow-up bed, but the bed/couch could accommodate two; our boys just move around a lot when sleeping. A backyard is available for enjoying the outdoors or storing bikes.
The location is outstanding; steps to a fantastic coffee shops (Sam James, Sweetie Pie), laundromat, TTC (bus and subway), bike paths, and parks (Art Eggleton, Bickford, and Christie Pits). A 5-10 minute walk gets you to either Korea Town (north) or Little Italy (south).
We stayed a month and found it great to explore a different part of the city. For the time we spent there it felt like home. If you are looking for a central location, with great amenities and responsive hosts, this is the place for you.
