My husband and I stayed in this beautiful place for quite long (3 weeks) and I can say that the place is definitely suitable for long-term stays.
The basement is very light as it has a few windows, so you don't even notice you're in a basemnt.
There were everything we needed and even more: a large TV-set and a vintage turning table with records!
The location is convenient since you have streetcars at hand and subway in a walking distance. There are also interesting places around like The Local pub, Revue cinema, etc. Robyn careted a great map for guests that shows other attractions nearby.
We really enjoyed our stay and conversation with Robyn and Yvan. I would recommend this place to everyone who wants to comfortably stay in Toronto!
