I came to Toronto for a research visit and was looking for a private apartment in a safe neighbourhood with good travel links. John's place exceeded all my expectations. The apartment was very clean with an exceptionally comfy bed and great shower. It was very nicely furnished and felt homely. The apartment has a large TV with different entertainment options but also enough space to work.
The apartment is located in a house with two other apartments (including John's) this was lovely as it meant I had a private space but also it was very easy to contact John - a fantastic, friendly host with lots of tips about the surrounding neighbourhood/travel etc, and I didn’t feel isolated.
Travelling by myself I was concerned about safety but the neighbourhood felt very safe. It was only a short walk to the nearest supermarkets and shopping centre and a couple of minutes to the nearest streetcar to take you into downtown - I also walked this a few times.
Unfortunately, I had to cut my trip short due to covid-19 concerns, John was really helpful and communication was excellent throughout this difficult time. I am hoping to return to Toronto to complete my research visit – I will certainly try to book John’s apartment again if it is free.
