I stayed with Neil and his roommate for 2 weeks. Neil was a friendly and helpful host, and was very easy to talk to. The atmosphere of the house is casual and comfortable.

The house is close to get all your essentials, either north on Bloor or south on College/Kensington Market. Harbord has lots of restaurants. The house is a very short walk to UofT and the Bathurst subway is 5 min away. Overall very convenient.

I should note that there is one bathroom. That wasn't a problem for me, as I started my day out later, but might be a issue for someone who likes to spend a lot of time there in the early morning.

Would recommend.
