Stayed here for 6 days with some friends while in vacation to Toronto. Minoo was lovely and very kind, however there were some issues that I will list below:
No air conditioning and fans were not provided until we asked for them, and even with multiple fans running the heat was almost intolerable
The back door was unlocked and open when we arrived at 6am, and we had to wait until 6pm that day for someone to get there to show us how to use the broken lock
There were quite a few bugs, which is likely due to the fact that the backdoor wasn’t closed for at least 12 hours and they were getting in
The sheets in 1 of the bedrooms and the futon in the living room had stains
If you’re going with more than 3 people you’ll need to buy extra toilet paper
There were some positives as well that i’ll list below:
It was close to bus stops and easy to get almost anywhere in North York, and it was only a 5 minute bus ride from the train station so it was also very easy ti get downtown.
There was a fully equipped kitchen, however you can’t use the freezer
The backyard was very big and super nice
The host was lovely and easy to get a hold of
Checking in was super easy with the lockbox, which is very nice if you’re arriving at night or early morning like we did.
Overall, the place wasn’t horrible but definitely didn’t meet our needs how we wanted. Consider your options and what’s most important to you when booking here, and it’s probably a better place to stay in winter.
