This basement apartment was lovely-exactly as described. Lesley was a great host, very welcoming-she even had some cool beers waiting for us on our arrival! In the end, we didn't have that much contact with our hosts, but when we did she was very warm and helpful. The low ceiling was not a problem for us-my husband is 5'10"-it's probably fine unless you're over(about) 6'2"
The street car which takes you downtown in less than 15 mins goes from the end of the street-a five minute walk away- making it a very convenient base to explore Toronto.
Leslieville is a buzzing area with lots of nice cafes and eateries.
We would definitely stay here again.
