This place is exactly as pictured. The host was very helpful and responsive. There were some cleaning materials missing when we moved in and only one towel, but Jeff got us what we needed in good speed. The location is fabulous. So close to the subway, Loblaw's is an easy walk, lots of restaurants and coffee shops. The apartment is in the back and quiet. We didn't have a car but parking would have been a real boon if we had. The kitchen was pretty well stocked, we had to buy/borrow a few essentials. The shower is terrific! And it's nice to have a washer/dryer. The big downside was the smell. At first I thought that it must be because there was a smoker there before us -- but we were there for a month, and a good part of that time the weather was great so we had the windows wide open -- and the smell still didn't go away. it hits you when you walk in the door, and then you don't notice it. And it didn't get in my clothes or anything. So it's unpleasant, but then... not a problem. The heating is from electric baseboard heaters and is somewhat challenging to regulate. We would absolutely stay there again.
