Gem and John's place makes for a great crash pad when exploring Toronto. They were welcoming and friendly leaving local recommendations for my arrival.
The space is cosy and the bed is really comfortable for a good night's sleep! It was also great to have access to a washer and dryer!
There is an air conditioning/heater unit in the laundry room which is quite loud. This fires up continuously every 10-15 mins so if your sensitive to noise bring some earplugs and you'll sleep fine.
This being the basement the ceilings are a little low and there isn't any natural light and the lights inside the apartment are quite dim but as I was mainly there in the evening to sleep it was fine for me!
