I loved my stay at Parkdale Hostellerie!! As the name indicates, it's more of a hostel formula than classic airbnb apartments, but the dorm has its own common (quiet) area, in addition to the common area next to the reception, equipped with kitchen supplies (+ stovetop, toaster, microwave, toaster oven) and a living room. The location is very convenient, right on the corner of Queen St W with its frequent street car and many many restaurants/bars/shops; it may be a little bit noisy at night with an open window, but I didn't notice anything with ear plugs in. I also definitely recommend this place for its very helpful staff and the friendly connections it provides!
