The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The apartment is as described and is okay for a basement. The snacks and coffee were very much appreciated. The basement is a bit damp and cold but the hosts did provide a space heater which worked reasonably well. The location is a bit far out from downtown if you're not familiar with Toronto. On the other hand, the unit is very quiet and the area's relaxed vibe may appeal to some people. It was not an issue for us but tall people should not rent this unit because the ceiling is quite low (it is a basement unit). People of average height should have no problems. There is reserved parking.
