Had a great stay at Curtis' place. Stayed for about two weeks and was working from home throughout - felt quite homey. Great combination of location and value - located right by the Northcliffe station for the 512 streetcar, takes about 35 minutes to get downtown and 30-45 to get to either West or East end. But the area itself is pretty lively as well. Kitchen was very well-equipped - grocery and corner stores abound. Bed + couch were comfy.
Slight drawbacks to consider:
1) The ceiling height was low (as described in listing) and can feel a bit tight. I'm 5'11" and I think that, maybe 6'0" is about as tall as I'd want to be to be able to comfortably stay there...I got used to hanging my head to duck between doorways/vents and luckily never hit my head. The 6'5" height is comfortable in main living, kitchen, and bedroom areas. Bathroom area in front of sink is also pretty low, in the 6'0" range.
2) Because it's a basement unit, it doesn't get great natural light (though it is well lit). The bedroom is pretty dark in morning hours, which is good for me sometimes, but this messed with my sleep pattern a bit.
Saying all of that for full transparency - but that said, would absolutely stay here again! Curtis was super responsive, helpful, and flexible throughout my stay, quite enjoyed my time there.
