We stayed at Nola's place for 9 nights and had a wonderful time. Her recently renovated basement suite was clean, stylist, cozy and in a very convenient location.
The basement suite has private access and had everything we needed for our stay. Her kitchenette is well equipped, has an electric oven and stove, refrigerator and she even bought us a new pack of coffee. :) The bathroom is a good size and very clean. She had all necessary toiletries like shampoo and body wash in the shower, sufficient toilet paper rolls, clean towels, tissue paper, hand wash and even toothpaste. The bedroom is a good size with a bed, love seat, closet and a TV with Netflix access. The location was fantastic - it only took a 5 minutes walk to the subway station, bus stop, excellent restaurants, bars, and banks. Dufferin mall and Downtown is pretty close too.
Nola and her husband, Bob, are humble and very accommodating. She was very well informed about the location and gave us great suggestions. She emailed me a head of time warning me about the weather and to bring warm clothes. They let me drop my luggage 4 hours before my check in time. Also, Nola was kind enough and had calm demeanor after letting us in on a cold Sunday morning at 5AM when we locked our keys inside by mistake. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
Thanks Nola and Bob for your hospitality. I hope to come back and stay again at your basement apartment with my husband next year.
