As someone who travels a lot, I don’t usually leave long reviews; but I had to on this one. So, here we go…
Jenny, the host, was very welcoming and prompt with his responses! However, I found the house rowdy and dirty with an odour, especially in the bathroom and common areas. The majority of the cleanliness was just on the surface and not the details; for example, the cupboards, drawers, microwave, etc. This suite is a basement and is easily accessible to the entire household, including the residents upstairs. So, it felt like a shared college residence full of people in the common areas - sitting room and kitchen, 24/7.
The only privacy you get is your bedroom and bathroom, as seen in the picture. The bedroom rubbed me off the wrong way the first day I arrived; I felt the room lacked ventilation. Everything down to the bed somehow felt damp. Hence, I had a hard time falling asleep.
With this being in Toronto and for the price, I wouldn’t fault it as I especially loved the modern aesthetic of the bathroom and how serene the neighbourhood was!
Update: I had bed bug bites from here. I initially thought it was a random allergy until I got back home and visited my doctor!
