Great value. Stayed for 11 nights at around $60/night. One minute walk to the streetcar for when you don’t wish to walk long distances. It’s a small space, but fully functional. If there was a fridge in the room itself, I’d be able to spend the whole day in there haha (though I recommend exploring while you’re here!). Never had an issue with the noise. Sometimes I’d hear someone from the other room or the family downstairs, but it typically didn’t last long and wasn’t when I was trying to sleep (never gave me any issues!). I’m also happy to report that thanks to the fan in the room, I never felt too hot at night (I usually need some cool air on me).
It’s in a good location, pretty much in Kensington market. Some of the estimates in the description aren’t quite accurate though (the Royal Ontario Museum is more than a 3min walk), but still very good. And the streetcar can take you to downtown locations (or you can walk 30min, which I did multiple times).
The host is quite busy, so you’ll only see her if you have to. Everything’s pretty much all done on your own (check-in/check-out).
My only negative is when I arrived at the house late at night, seeing a refrigerator, a bike, and a box of clothes at the front entrance had my a bit worried. Not the prettiest block and there is construction going on. But don’t worry, all is safe, you can also lock your room’s door when you’re out and about. There were multiple nights where I came in pretty late, and never felt like I was in danger. Also, I might’ve preferred an extra towel.
All in all, a great value option! Thank you!
