This was an "okay" accommodation. Not terrifically recommended for families or those who want a newer or upscale (even slightly) accomodation. First off, this is a BASEMENT. I found that there would be noise issues at all times of the night/morning; didn't appreciate that at all. Also - this is an extremely damp & cold basement. So cold in fact, that on a hot summer day you may still need to put on a light sweater or track jacket. 1 more thing - we experienced water leakage issues from the shower. Obviously nobody cared to clean the hair from the shower drain. Once my wife did it herself, the issue definitely improved. Somehow small amounts of water still found its way onto the floor afterwards. I know the review sounds pretty harsh, but the stay wasn't a disaster for the price I was charged. I was VERY HAPPY with the general cleanliness of the basement apartment; you could tell that they went the extra mile to clean the entire basement apartment rental.
A few extras:
- To use laundry amenities, you must first be given permission and "the door" will then be opened.
- There is no dining table. You have to eat on the kitchen counter/island.
- Although the unit is a big size, the actual living space is quite cramped.
Final thoughts: I would consider to use this accommodation again if I ever needed a short stay in the Scarborough area. Our host(s) were generally pleasant to deal with. An easy check-in was provided along with a private entrance through the backyard.
