The Studio itself is very neat, with a white carpet, clean space. Taking off your shoes at the door is expected. The area has is a large open-top staircase leading to the host family dwelling upstairs. There isn't a door of separation for privacy of conversation nor a separation when lounging in front of the TV (non-cable), "Apple TV" box. While lounging in our pajamas morning and evening, a housekeeper wandered into this area 3x and family members came down unexpected as well to go to the laundry area on our level. There isn't a TV in the bedroom to retreat to for privacy. The 3 members of the family were very nice to work with, but we're not sure how the TV or Coffee maker worked. The studio wasn't easy to find, it's is an alley, but very close to the university and about 20 minutes from China Town. The Toronto City parking pass cost us an additional $25 to stay here for 2 nights, 3 days.
