I really enjoyed my stay with Jay. This was my first time staying in a room in a property, rather than having the whole space to myself, and after staying with Jay I would do it again - he was welcoming and available if needed, but I hardly saw him, so I had as much privacy as I needed.
The room itself was quite small, but it had all I needed, a single bed, lamp, desk and wardrobe. But I also had exclusive access to the balcony which was really great and made it feel like I had more space. Jay also had a coffee machine and coffee was included in the stay. The building also had a pool, hot tub, steam room and gym.
Check in and out was great, my bus was delayed so I was later than I had expected, but this wasn't an issue for Jay. I was also able to leave my bags at the apartment on my check out day and pick them up later in the afternoon which meant I could make use of my last day in Toronto.
The location was excellent. Very near a subway station, but it was also possible to walk to the places I wanted to visit. There were also lots of restaurants, a pharmacy and supermarket very close by.
I would reckon staying with Jay to a friend.
