Overall, a great value for our stay. It's a lovely space located within walk-able distance to public transit with a lot of food nearby.
The host is an artist, so there's interesting art pieces displayed around the house. There's also a lovely office space by the balcony for anyone who's looking to do some work during their stay.
The appliances in the apartment is a bit dated which definitely adds to the charm, but could be challenging at the same time (we didn't know how to use the washing machine and ended up wrecking a shirt).
There's no actual free overnight parking (which was advertised in the listing at the time), however you can park overnight at the Green P down the street for $3/night. During the day there's free street parking (if there's space left), or $5-6 day parking if you just want to leave your car there. We ended up paying $70 extra for our 9 day stay, which is quite cheap for Toronto parking, but it would've been nice to expect it in our budget.
($3 + $5) for 3 weekend days + ($3 + $6) for 5 week days
We discovered that registered street parking would've been $27 for 9 days, and you could leave your car on the street. So we recommend doing that if anyone else has a vehicle.
Otherwise, 9/10 would recommend staying with Kate!!
