Grace is a very sweet lady, kind, and thoughtful, however it's hard to give this place a full 5 stars. Here are the reasons why:
As everybody in previous reviews has said, this place is very basic and simple - don't expect anything super nice. It's an older style house with a very old school look/feel/vibe and furniture. However, my biggest concerns were cleanliness in the bathroom.
The bathroom for the AirBnB guests had a really dirty shower, like disgustingly dirty - think dirt and mold. It made me nervous to touch it as I imagine so many people have taken a shower here. Ultimately, it seemed full of germs.
Next, the bathroom also didn't have hand soap to wash your hands after using the bathroom. Sorry, but not being able to wash your hands after using the bathroom is pretty gross, especially when you're staying here with other guests.
Grace will insist on giving you a tour of the neighborhood, which is nice for some, but unnecessary for others.
Finally, there were moths flying around my room. Which disturbed me badly. These were pantry months, which would indicate that there's likely old food or something growing somewhere in the home - that's the only way these things show up. The room was also pretty rank - it didn't seem fresh, but more like dingy and old if that makes sense.
Also! Be mindful that there is a set of stairs to get to the rooms upstairs where the Airbnb guests stay. It's a pretty narrow staircase, so if you're luggage is heavy you should take your time going up the staircase - you won't have any help with your bags. I wish I would of known this as I almost fell going up and down the stairs with my luggage.
Some pros are that she made me breakfast my first and last day staying there, but I would suggest that it's easier to provide breakfast options to guests like oatmeal, cereal, etc. rather than having it made in her personal kitchen and brought to us. This makes it easier for those who don't enjoy certain foods to have their own choice in breakfast.
This place is about a 15ish minute walk from the subway station and a 5 minute walk to the bus stop that will take you to the train station. This place is also easy accessible to YYZ airport too.
Grace overall is a very motherly person, but I would skip staying here unless you're really tight on cash.
