This is a basement apartment so as you would expect, not much natural light. It also suffered from noise from the house above, where the host and his family were living. The apartment is pleasant and comfortably fitted out. Location not brilliant in that it was quite a walk to get to a bus stop to get into downtown Toronto. The worst aspect was the strong smell of dog that greeted us on each return to the apartment. We never actually met Cole, but his wife greeted us initially and was very helpful when we had issues with the key to the apartment. Overall a reasonable place to stay for couple of nights, and good value, but I wouldn't have wanted to use it for an extended stay.
