My wife and l only stayed at Matt and Catherine's place for a long weekend but the experience was lovely. The basement apartment is a bit cold in the winter but they provided us with plenty of blankets and space heaters to stay warm.
The location is great! The neighbourhood has lots of character with tons of cool restaurants, boutique shops and bars. Plus, its very close to the city center and easily accessible by public transportation...very well connected.
The place is spacious, clean and orderly; and it provides all of the basics. Matt and Catherine are exceptional hosts and very kind people. We hope to stay with them again next time we are in Toronto.
