I really enjoyed my stay at Josh's place! The basement apartment is exactly like on the pictures, very clean and in a wonderful and quiet neighborhood.
The place has everything that you need and more. There's a grocery store on the next street (Fiesta Farms) and a lovely neighborhood coffee shop nearby that I highly recommend (Contra).
Christie Pitts Park is a short walk and so is Christie Station and Bloor street. I love that it's close to many things, but not in the middle of it, so you get the peace and quiet when you're at the apartement.
Communicating with Josh was great. He responds quickly to any questions you may have and even though I didn't get to meet him, I'm sure he's a wonderful guy.
If you're looking for a wonderful, spacious and clean place this is your spot! You can live like a local while you're visiting this wonderful city.
I'll gladly come back during my next stay in Toronto!
