Vladimir's house is a nice and clean place to stay. The location is not very comfortable since it takes about 10 minutes to reach the bus stop and about 3 minutes by bus to subway. Alternatively, it will take about 20 minutes on foot to the metro station.
We didn't find any supermarkets nearby, so we had to buy groceries in No frills near Kennedy station and go home on foot to avoid wasting $3/person for a bus ride.
Rooms are situated in a basement (what is common in Toronto), but it's a bit dark inside since windows are rather small and face West and North sides.
Mattresses were 100% comfortable for sleep (not too soft). However, the sound insulation is not good, so if you need to go asleep earlier than your neighbours it's likely they will disturb you. Also, there is some gap between a door and a floor so every time the lights are on in the corridor, it becomes quite light inside the room.
Michael, the de-facto superintendent of a building is very helpful and welcoming. He helped us move our heavy stuff downstairs even though we didn't ask him about it.
There are plenty of storage space in the room, which, by the way, is spacious. But due to the fact that there are 5 or 6 renting rooms nearby, the kitchen tends to be occupied every now and then. But there is no table to have a meal on, so you need to use one in the room (unfortunately, it is situated right under the TV so it isn't very comfortable). The same place I used while working on my laptop and it wasn't very convenient.
There are two washrooms with showers, so they meet all the tenants need without any problems. Kitchen and washrooms are fully equipped with all the necessities.
All the furniture is new, clean and well-maintained. The Internet is fast, the number of channels on TV set exceeds all the limits :)
All in all, everything was new, clean, and tidy.
