Let me start by the only positive thing: Great location, walking distance from Bloor st. If you are in the area first time and don't want to struggle for food and like walking /biking it is a great location.
Negative:
1.) place looked bigger in pics, instead, It's a very narrow building with very small rooms and a tiny bathroom.
bur for the price I can adjust it.
2.) the beds are simple folding beds, not proper ones, they are like the ones you find in I guess hostel rooms/dorm rooms. My blanket smelled funny, and the bedding is not that great, a cheap one I guess. I think they skimped on investing wherever possible.
3.) If you are a bachelor /student looking to stay for a few days, this place would be okay for you. But If you are coming to the area on Vacation or have arrived in the country for the first time don't book simply, as it turns off the mood, you want a good experience on your first time in the country. Invest a bit more in another place.
4.) My biggest complaint: cleanliness. Everything was dirty in the shared kitchen as well as the kitchen in the room.
The dishes were covered with dirt, seemed they were sitting there for too long and accumulated the dirt.
The coffee pots and toaster had spots and were dirty, I couldn't even touch them they looked so bad. Fridge, I couldn't even bother to open it as the outside was dirty.
The microwave had food spilled inside all over and was stuck on the warming plate, not even wipeable. if you try to warm your food in it your plate will get that weird food stuck to it and smell of it ..ugh.
The sink had leftover food all over it.
The sponge provided for washing dishes should be replaced after every guest (considering covid).
there was no dishwasher liquid/pods provided to wash dishes, just the dish soap that could be used in handwashing the dishes.
5.)I came to Canada first time from the USA, it was a long drive and we reached at 1 am. I have asked the host previously about parking and they just asked to locate it on google maps. I said ok. Usually, Airbnb hosts guide you about the surrounding area and parking too. We Parked the car 20 min walk distance from the Airbnb location and discovered the next day that parking was available at just 1 min walking distance from home. We couldn't have found it at night, If the host would have given the location earlier we would not have to walk for 20 min in the middle of the night all tired and hungry. This shows either they do not have the knowledge of the surrounding area or they don't care!
The only thing they provided was body wash, shampoo, Toilet Paper, and clean towels that were scratchy as hell and lined trash cans.
there is a washer and dryer in the building but I did not use them. Didn't know how clean it would be.
Booked for 4 nights. Left one night earlier, couldn't tolerate the messy and dirty place anymore.
Complaints to the host and Host don't even address the kitchen cleanliness issues just focuses on clean towels, like you can make breakfast or make coffee in them. They have not yet replied to my refund claim.
Very bad experience. felt cramped up in the place. Had to stay for 3 nights since I had work in the area and didn't have the time to switch places. I had to buy breakfast lunch dinner everything from outside costing me a lot more. If the kitchen was a clean place I could have saved some money on food.
