The house is really good for long term stay. It has a well equipped kitchen and love the layout as it makes the space bigger. The bedroom does get hot in summers but the portable fan brought in should take care of the temperature. The central ac should help keep the internal atmosphere better. The backyard is a nice to chill. Excellent neighbours and super friendly and helpful.
The area has groceries like loblaws ; summer hill market and a gas station which is convenient and Dupont station - 1km and Bathurst/Christie subway st 1.5km away. The laundry is not ensuite which is a bummer for winters but the nearby one in 3 minutes from the place - have been using that (coin laundry)
Safe neighbourhood - calm streets and parking available as well.
The host did arrange for curtains on request for the room for privacy from the backyard - appreciated that alot as it helped me stay mentally safe. Lockbox was fine to get access to key. I feel the hall could use better lighting as it can get gloomy staying there for longer but that's a personal thing. Enjoyed working from the other room which gets a lot of natural sunlight.
Host is very responsive so I appreciate that. Overall happy and good stay and would come back again :)
