If you're looking for a good place to stay while you roam around Downtown Toronto, but don't want to pay for expensive rates, then look no further! Chong's listed apartment got you covered!
Her place is located where it's much cheaper to Uber to and from Downtown, than stay there. Her apartment is also surrounded by a diverse amount of food places, so if you ever don't know what you want, just roll a die and choose from it! And if you ever have a craving, then they're all walking distance away! The grocery and pharmacy we're also walking distance. If you fancy riding a bike, then there's a bike share before you enter the street. As for me, I had a lot of fun strolling around the neighborhood.
The place is cozy and comfy, complete with everything you need for basic necessities. The living room and bedroom has their own heating system and will keep you warm on those cold days/nights. The sofa in the living room had fluffy pillows and a nice blanket to keep you comfy as you chill and watch. The bed felt so nice to sleep on, and the pillows were soft. Plus if you ever need more blankets to cover you up, don't hesitate to message Chong and she'll gladly hand you over some.
If you ever need to do your laundry during your stay, then the place has its own washer and dryer. And if you need detergent/dryer sheets, Chong would bring them to you as well!
The bath is nice to soak in, although you'd have to dry up a bit and walk over to the shower if you're planning to take one after. She also provided us with Shampoo and Soap, so I never had to worry about it either.
Chong made sure that my stay in her apartment was relaxing. She replies fast to inquiries, and she also checked on us from time to time and told us that if we ever needed anything to make our stay more enjoyable, then don't hesitate to ask her. As long as you follow her small and simple requests (written on the listing), she'll make sure that your stay at her place is comfortable and hassle free.
Keep in mind that this place is a basement apartment, and the stairs down is a bit narrow. So if you're bringing in luggage to make sure that you know you can carry it up and down the stairs, or to ask for help when settling in.
I'd definitely recommend this place. If you plan to stay around a little bit longer, then we also suggest looking at her Guidebook and Recommendations as it gives good suggestions on what to see when you're around in town. If this place is open once I visit Toronto again in the near future, I'll make sure to check on this place first!
