Love the neighborhood - good for those seeking a quieter experience in Toronto but with easy access to downtown. The place is definitely affordable and comfortable enough. Bed was comfortable. Appliances were good. Size was very good. Owner was responsive to a request for change in temperature. A couple of things to watch out for in case it bothers you:
- while the family upstairs is not noisy, there is basically no sound insulation at all, so you can hear footsteps, kitchen sounds, some talking etc.
- there is a boiler and it is very loud. However, closing the bedroom door helps.
- ceilings are low (it is a basement), which didn't bother me, but was an issue for my 6ft 6in husband
- the shower rod collapsed on us. However we couldn't restick it until the tiles dried, meaning I had to hold it for my husband.
- bring soap and a hair dryer if you need it
