That is going to be the first time I will not give a 5 stars review on an AirBnb I stayed. Even though Sonia is a good host and the place has a great location I think a more impartial review would help future guests.
The reason I removed the first star is because the host contacted me when accepting my staying and asked from where I was coming from and said there was a problem with an AirBnB discount. She asked for an extra $60 in cash upon my arrive. I had used AirBnB several times before and never had to pay extra money in cash. But in good faith I accepted that and paid.
The second star was removed because the host doesn't have garbage bins and told me to use the street ones. It is not even legal in Toronto to dispose household waist in public bins. It was extremely awkward for me to leave everyday with a bag of garbage and walk to the public bin across the street. I even had to be looking around to avoid the police.
And the third star was removed because it was almost impossible to cook there. The place had great appliances but almost not cookware and terrible dishware and cutlery. It was not even equipped enough to make coffee. And the smoke detector would go off for any reason, even a single toast. I had to wrap it in plastic film to be able to do anything in the kitchen.
Other than that the place is fine. The location is really good and I really like the host. It is semi-private, you can hear upstairs noise all the time, including people walk and toilet flushing. I would not stay there again but it would be suitable for tourists that will not stay home and just need a place to spend some nights.
