I have just left Sandra's, having spent 4 nights there, and have nothing but praise. The room is very nice, and the bed incredibly comfortable. Sandra provided towels, toiletries, a hairdryer, and even little chocolates for when I arrived! You have use of the bathroom next door which has a great shower.
The location is wonderful. Having never been to Toronto, and travelling alone, I wasn't sure where to stay. I am so glad I stayed here rather than somewhere in the centre, as it is a few minutes walk to the lake which has stunning views. Getting into the centre is very easy - the streetcars run every few minutes and cost $3. Parkdale itself is a great place, with lots of independent cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The Drake Hotel in particular had amazing food and wine.
Finally, Sandra herself is very warm and welcoming, and made me feel completely at home. She also provided a very tasty breakfast each morning!
I would definitely recommend Sandra's house to anyone visiting Toronto.
