Even if it’s in front of a bus station, the house is 1 hour away from the centre of Toronto, in the long term one might find it really tiring.
I think the rent was too expensive and overpriced for the quality and services offered:
- Soaps and shampoos bottles (which are included among the services in the airbnb page of the host) were all empty, I had to ask the host to buy them
- The airbnb page says that towels are included as well, but I was given only one and for the host that was supposed to be enough. It was also stained
- Many plastic containers in the kitchen were dirty and bad smelling
- My bedroom was dusty and in bad conditions (dust under the bed, or inside the closet for instance, the mosquito net on the window is torn and has a hole)
Moreover, the host comes in the flat whenever he wants, unannounced (even though it’s fully rented) and cooks, eats, spends time in the living room, does the laundry and uses the shared bathroom (he also acts nervous when some of us are using the bathroom or the shared areas when he needs them). He also brings his family alongside with him. I found this quite curious and not really respectful of me and my flatmates.
I wouldn’t really recommend it, I’m sorry!
