Great location - right on a north-south street car line, and located between Kensington Market where the small, ethnically diverse shops and restaurants are -- and Queen St., which is the main street. There is a really good coffee shop just up the block as well. (Bailey's.) Also within walking distance of U of Toronto.
Room 2, where we stayed, has private bath and is in the back of the house. there is no street noise whatsoever... just noise from the adjacent bathroom and nearby kitchen.
Another guest reviewer had commented on how firm the bed is, which I didn't think I'd mind... but it is REALLY firm. Overall, a good value.
