Joseph's place is exactly like the photos he posted. The room is cozy, you get hot shower whenever you want, and the bed is nice and big... Just like the photos! And the location is really awesome. It is 8-10 minutes from Sheppard station (TTC SUBWAY). (I timed myself and it depends on how fast you walk and the time you spend waiting for the lights to change, etc.) And on your your way to the subway station, there is Whole Foods, a fancy health food store. Clean, organic food that can be pricey isn't your thing? Then take a nice stroll on Yonge street (head north) and in about 15 minutes you hit North York Centre and there is Loblaws. You can get your groceries done! And there are plenty of restaurants and food places on Yonge st. near Sheppars atation and as you walk on Yonge st. northbound. Hop onto the subway and in 45 minutes you reach the heart of Toronto downtown. It is really that convenient.
Joseph's place is in a safe, quiet area that is close to the public transportation and the conveniences of grocery stores and food places. I felt safe walking to and from the subway station at night. It IS close to one of the major subway stations, but Joseph's place is in the middle of a residential area so it is nice and quiet.
For the price of this room, I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to stay in Toronto. I would like to come back to Joseph's place on my next Toronto visit!
