Toronto as a whole is grungy. This area near Kensington Market is no exception. A block away you have easily one of the most ghetto streets I've ever seen, not completely walker friendly in my personal opinion.
The suite was large, clean and accurate. Getting into the house is rather simple but the door locks are backwards/upside down, relatively confusing and loud.
The internal AC is not controlled by you and the room gets ridiculously hot because the sun rises hitting it the entire time.
There's a large ph parking lot across the road, biggest plus is that it's a car2go free lot so we ended up using that service the most!
It's just far away enough from the CN tower to be annoying, but Uber's, cans and trolleys are abundant.
The CN tower is visible from the bedroom which is awesome!
The water pressure is atrocious. With 3 units in one home, the water pressure is extremely low, sometimes going to a dribble in the shower, hot water is hard to keep on for moderate time length.
The neighbours smoke so you sometimes get that smell, in the window, the AC is audible outside when the window is open. The street is generally loud tbh.
The place is clean, but pretty much only because it's been completely coated in white paint.
Sindy was a great host. Only saw her once but she messaged me to check In and help out when the suite got too hot and she saw the windows open.
It's overall a good place to stay. Just know it's a bit more expensive than I would price it myself.
