I barely stayed at the place cos I was travelling around. I must have spent few hours 2-3 days and spent couple of night.
Of the two days I tried to take a shower at the place, the water was not running in the bathroom. Reaching out to Khaled takes couple of calls. He later informed me that the city had closed the water without informing.
On the other 2 days I stayed, some construction work was going on in the basement, the noise from which was highly disturbing and annoying. Even though Khaled had messaged in advance, it was not a comfortable situation to be in. Upon messaging the host, he said other guests did not complain (two more room are there in one of which an elderly person was living and in another a part time caretaker) and that I am welcome to checkout if it is causing problems to me. So I checked out 3 days before my actual checkout date.
Now these instances seem one off and should not be a recurring situation but this was my experience.
Overall it’s a basic place with enough room space and in a quite neighbourhood. Few decent restaurants nearby. Good for anyone studying in the vicinity. Reaching Toronto takes an hour or so via public transport. It is not your typical BnB where you get breakfast as well, which is fair as the host doesn’t even advertise it.
