Angel's place is all about the location. It's only steps away from Kensington Market, which is a neighborhood of a collection of unique shops and restaurants. It was easy and convenient to get around the city with this as a home base. I only needed to use the bus twice throughout my seven-day trip, and the subway system twice as well. Everything I needed was within a 30-minute walk. Another reviewer noted that the air conditioning was not sufficient, but I can attest to the fact that there is a nice wall unit with a remote control that kept me cool during my entire stay.

Angel's mom came to the door when I knocked on the door, and proceeded to bring me to the room, and explain everything to me - she provided info on the keys and private and locked entry, the wifi, and mentioned that I could contact Angel whenever I needed. I definitely took her up on that, and was pleased with how responsive Angel was. I'd like to highlight that Angel was responsive whenever we had a need - whether it was refilling the body wash, or replenishing the toilet paper or tissues, she was able to address any of our needs quickly.

I did raise an issue in the beginning with some of the sheets that had a few stray hairs on them when I arrived, but I mentioned this to Angel, and it was quickly addressed by Angel and her mom, and they provided additional linens and towels quickly, and also assured me that everything was clean. Again, she was extremely responsive and very helpful to us. I never did meet Angel in person, but all the communication was done through Angel, and Angel's mom was able to provide everything we needed.

The blankets on the bed were comfortable and warm, and there are four pillows for the bed. The bed was firm, which I liked. My friend, who stayed on the fold out couch, seemed to sleep fine. One thing to note about it, is that you'll need to make sure you sleep on the side that is weighted, so you don't accidentally flip the couch bed over.

It was very quiet at night as well - it's close enough to all of the action, yet far enough to not be loud at night. It's a three-story walk-up, which was good for me, as I needed all of that extra exercise since I was eating very well in Toronto.

There is also a phone landline in the room, which was useful, as well as a TV that's hooked up to Roku.

Overall, it was a great place to stay to rest and sleep and live close enough to be amidst all of the action of Toronto.
