This lovely lower level flat was exactly as pictured and did not feel like a basement at all. Nice light from the windows, tasteful decorating, very comfortable bed, couch and dining area. We were there for Valentines and Dana left a lovely little card and some chocolates for us. The shower was wonderful! We were able to walk to everything we wanted to do .. Distillery District, Allan Gardens, some local restaurants, St. Lawrence Market. This would be a great place for a weekend or a long term stay. The neighbourhood was lovely ... a great taste of east downtown Toronto. Thanks for the parking permit link. And the last point ... we got some great fresh roasted coffee beans from St. Lawrence Market, but didn't have a grinder. We messaged Dana through the AirBNB app and she got back to us right away that we were in luck, she had a grinder that she delivered right away. It was nice to have a host who actually lives right upstairs and is responsive. Thanks Dana. We'll be back!
