It was a good cost benefit in Toronto. The apartment was clean and functional. Neighborhood is very diverse and multicultural. The apartment is close to a bar so there is noise during the night - the windows are sound proof and cover most of it but if you have light sleep this might be an issue. Also the bedroom has a transparent curtain so the light from the street and the sun in the morning make the room very bright. I didn't meet the hosts but the communication was easy and so was the checkin and out.
