I've stayed in a few Toronto basement places but this one did not all feel "basement-y". The ceilings were normal height, it was not dark and it felt airy and spacious. Very clean and lovely decor. The description accurate but don't overlook that the refrigerator is a dorm-size one and there is not a kitchen (again, description was accurate but we ended up missing the fridge and kitchen sink more than we thought we would). Hosts are communicative but stay out of your way if you don't need anything. Wifi worked great and neighborhood is cute, walkable and the place is very near public transportation. You'll love this place!
