My girlfriend and I stayed at Eric's for 5 days and it was truly a great experience, a nicer designed basement apartment in Toronto would be hard to find and this is coming from someone who lived in Toronto previously and went to many house viewings. Eric is one of the most hospitable and genuine people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He went above and beyond as a host in making us feel welcome. We also had the chance to meet his very talented and bright family and chat over a beer before we left. I had no issues about the place itself, its clean, nice bathroom, big tv, ideal temperature. It might look far away from downtown but the subway station is super close and there are late night food places nearby. I have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone!
