The listing description is quite accurate - the room, while small, is well-kept and clean. The bed and bedding are actually quite lovely to sleep on/in, and the host has graciously provided a space heater and fan for the guest's use should an alternative temperature prove desirable. The apartment itself has a fairly continuous source of white noise from the heating system, which is pleasant and serves well to drown out any street noise you might otherwise encounter. You can't argue with the location - it's fairly central in Toronto, within walking distance of public transit and it comes equipped with private, secure, and (surprisingly) somewhat heated parking within a garage.

The host himself is quite lovely - other than general courteousness and an admonition to keep noise down, he made no requests of his guests at all. He graciously shared with me a cup of tea and a banana, and was quick to ensure the room met our needs and expectations. I absolutely would recommend this location to anyone travelling to Toronto for any reason, and would stay with this host again whenever I return.

The only thing that I found at all surprising about the room is actually (in retrospect) clearly visible in the photo attatched to this listing. You'll note both that there's a bit of glare from sunlight in the photo, and that the blinds are down and drawn - from this you should rightly conclude that the windows let in a fair bit of light even with the blinds drawn. This didn't wind up bothering me too much, but if you are fairly light-sensitive you may wish to arrange with the host for alternate light-blocking measures. I would say however that this accomodation is overall excellent even with this minor discomfort factored in.
