This apartment is conveniently located between Gerard and Dundas, two main streets with a bunch of shops, restaurants, grocery stores and a mall. A few blocks north there are also several gyms around (I like working out on vacation).
The apartment is in the east side of town, at around 30 min by bus or tram to Downtown (with little to no transfer depending on where you are going). The unit is very well decorated and furnished, and does not feel like a basement at all. That said, there is not much sunlight that gets in, but you have access to a patio set in the backyard if you want to enjoy beautiful summer days. In fall/winter the unit is a bit colder though, but the heater works fine once you figure out how to turn it on.
Unfortunately the WiFi did not work throughout my whole stay, and Eric was not able to fix it before my check-out. The unit is also not very soundproof, so I could hear people talking or walking upstairs. This is not too disruptive unless you are the kind of person who likes total silence at home.
Overall, I would recommend this apartment for people travelling alone or with a friend, for an affordable short stay in Toronto.
