Cheng is a friendly host. His house was nice, but this is more of a place that is nice to stay if you need a bed to stay and will be out for most of the day as there is no TV in the bedroom or in the house. There is also no access to the backyard to enjoy the nice view.
Room was cleaner than the shared spaces in the house, and it was nice to have a separate bathroom staying in a private room in a house.
Lacking in amenities, this might be a good option for those travelling to Toronto by car.
Without a car, it is approximately a 15 minute walk to North York Centre which had many shops and a subway to downtown. Expect a total of 40 minute to 1 hour+ commute including walking time from the house depending on where you are headed to in downtown Toronto.
There are plenty of good restaurants along Younge street which is a 10-15 walk from the house. There are many Korean restaurants and a few 24 hour restaurants.
You will need to make sure to bring toothpaste, rinsing cup, etc, and other amenities if you are selective. This was hard for me as I travelled to Toronto by plane so I had to do without a few items! Toilet paper was also really thin.
The bed was comfortable, the sheets are clean, and the room is spacious. (Big enough for a family with small children).
Not a five star rating as the Airbnb was lacking the comfort experience, but it was good enough for a place to stay.
The experience would be great and worth the commute by transit to the downtown core. if improved upon a bit.
Would come again if amenities were added and room feels less sparse. For example, the walk-in closet does not have racks to place your clothes.
