This basement apartment was in a great location in old Toronto. Easy to travel around by foot or public transit, and with Dufferin Mall about a 10 minute walk away it was easy to find everything I needed. Including the toilet paper that is not provided in the bathroom.
Just a word to the wise- it can get QUITE loud from upstairs in this basement room. I could hear everyone walking around and watching tv upstairs, which was fine during the day- but between the hours of 10pm and 5am was not as much fun. There were several nights that I got absolutely no sleep due to what appeared to be a movie with a lot of bass being played until 1am and then constant walking back and forth for hours. I sent a message to the hosts saying I might potentially have to cancel my reservation since I was in town for work and needed sleep, and they ensured me it was the neighbors throwing a party and their dog sitter watching a movie. I did have to cancel my meeting the next morning due to a lack of sleep.
There were several more nights where I could hear people, but it wasn’t as bad. When I did encounter the dog sitter and his guest in the following days, they were quite rude, but that is not the hosts’ fault. Anytime I did send a message to Carl and Lisa they were responsive. Check in and out procedures were clearly defined, so that helped.
Overall, not my best experience at an AirBnB, but for the price and location it was fine.
