Christine's place was great, and totally matched the description of others. It's located in a super dog-friendly neighbourhood, is clean, and very comfortable.
My wife and our dog used this apartment as our home for 3 months when we first moved to Toronto. We were very satisfied with the accommodation; as well as the quiet neighbourhood and easy access to public transit.
The Queen & King streetcars are 5mins away, and buses to the subway (Line 2) are within 10mins walk. You can reach the downtown through any of those routes in less than 30mins. There is also great accessibility for shopping; the apartment is within walking distance of the Gerrard Street Mall (Food Basics, Walmart, Dollar store).
Christine was a very accommodating host, quick to respond to any enquiries, and provided a lovely gift basket on our first day. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances, and a tv with Netflix is provided.
The only negatives I would say are:
- The heat is controlled from the upstairs apartment, so you cannot adjust it by yourself
- The furnace & hot water heater are next to the bed, so it can be noisy when they come on at night.
I would definitely recommend her place!
