I was in Toronto for 4 days for touring and meeting friends. As a broke university student, Leslie's listing was very attractive. I had some concerns since the price was so low, but her listing was accurate and so were the reviews. Leslie is a great host who knows how to make your stay comfortable as well as respect you.
Pros:
- 7 minute walk from buses that take you to downtown and west.
- 30-40 minute ride to downtown by transportation (20 minutes if you have car/use uber).
- 4 cats, if you like cats. One of them likes coming to your room.
- Cost per night is very cheap.
- Kitchen appliances available for you to be able to cook most meals.
- Host is knowledgeable in common tourist spots in Toronto.
- Quiet.
Neutral:
- There are 6 plugs in the room, 2 of which are occupied by secondary lamps that can be taken out.
- Despite having 4 cats, the house does not smell dirty, but I could smell cat food sometimes, when I was downstairs.
- There is no shower curtain so be careful not to splash water everywhere.
- There is no microwave if you plan on bringing leftovers, but you can use stove to heat your food up.
Cons:
- Shower water pressure is medium-low.
- 4 cats, if you don't like cats or have cat allergy.
