I would easily recommend Sherif’s place to anyone. It’s a gorgeous, very clean townhouse and I genuinely enjoyed my stay there.
I took a last-minute trip to Toronto, reserving my room just 24 hours before traveling to Canada. Sherif answered my questions super quickly (despite my sending them so late at night), and accommodated an absurdly late/early 4:30 am check-in the following day. The house is equipped with smart locks that made the whole process a breeze.
The room is just outside of Toronto in Etobicoke, which is still served by the Toronto metro. I had a parking spot at the townhouse for my entire trip, which was great. The metro is about one mile away, which is a 15 minute walk (or short bus ride) away. It was perfect for me, as I did not have to worry about parking downtown and the price was affordable compared to other listings on such short notice.
The townhouse itself is beautiful and exceptionally clean. It has a dishwasher, bidet fixtures on the toilets, a washer and dryer for use on the weekends, and a great kitchen and living room area. Given that it’s a townhouse, it’s best suited for folks who can go up and down stairs safely and comfortably.
The room has just the basics — but for me it was perfect. There are not a lot of bells and whistles in the room, which made it a calm space for me. The bed was among the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in (to the point that I am researching purchasing the same mattress for myself). It also had a desk, chair, night stand, two closets, a towel, and a washcloth. Soaps were provided in the shower which was great, too.
This is a shared space and the other guests I met were very kind. Sherif was extremely flexible with me when it came to check in/check out times, but given that it’s a shared space there’s not flexibility when it comes to having unregistered guests over which is absolutely understandable. I am grateful that the space did not feel busy or chaotic with random people coming and going.
Sherif’s place is a gem and he’s a great host. I don’t think it will be too long before this property is one of the area’s most popular ones. Its simplicity and elegance, paired with a great host, makes it very easy to recommend. Thanks Sherif!
