Steven is a great host. Kept in touch with us before, during, and after our trip. Made sure we had everything we needed. He took the effort to put together a welcome guide to show guests all nearby hotspots and attractions. Even had a laundry card and presto transit card for guests to borrow. Everything is labeled with fun messages around the apartment to show you how things work. Its an older building but everything worked fine. You're staying where he usually lives so it feels like home.
The location is great. It's just a few steps away from Spadina subway station which will take you into downtown in about 20 min. Bloor St is also just a 10 min walk away. Very convenient with a 7-11, Metro grocery store, and Shoppers Drug Mart. Bloor St also leads right into Korea Town with lots of restaurants.
If you get the city pass to see the major attractions (CN Tower, Casa Loma, Zoo, etc.), Steven's place is right in the middle of them. So it's very easy to travel between the attractions and head back to his place to rest if needed.
Overall we had a fun trip and Steven made it great!
