Probably the best basement apartment you'll find, this place offers the luxuries of a small condominium unit but without the hassle of having to take the elevator or dealing with a front desk. High ceilings, even in the stairwell, and big windows makes this apartment feel more spacious than most other basement units. An excellent heating system also means this unit is warm and comfortable in winter, the floors included.
Located in a quiet neighbourhood just east of downtown, you'll find a wide variety of excellent food options nearby as well as some other amenities and services. A 2 minute walk to the bus stop or a 10 minute walk to the subway station, you can get to downtown Toronto in about 30 minutes total travel time.
Overall, an excellent place to stay with the peace and quiet you did expect while still being near to food, public transport and downtown.
