Host is nice and helpful. Check in is easy. the location is a bit far from centre, but easy enough with public transport, and the neighbourhood is quite nice.
there is, however, a rather unpleasant smell in the room (which is in the basement) whenever they are cooking upstairs. it does not seem to stay on your clothes, but smells rather bad.
All in all it is a good place to stay, especially if you Are planning on spending most of the day in downtown Toronto or on day trips.
