Alex and Galina's suite is very beautiful and even nicer in person. When you step in it feels like a dedicated apt to you as the guest, versus a space that someone lives in part-time and loans out other times (as many Air BnB listings do). I only wish I could have stayed longer. Also parking is a big plus and literally right at the back of the unit (there is a back door to the bedroom making it easy to load and unload your bags.
The location is wonderful and in one of the top neighborhoods of Toronto in terms of safety, charm, shops and restaurants. As others have mentioned the subway is at least a 10 minute walk away, but I found it really nice to walk past the shops on Yonge and enjoy my stroll to the subway.
I think Alex and Galina were a bit busy during my stay and I also had booked last minute so my level of interaction with them was limited, but I did not mind the privacy.
The only thing that was not a big deal was that I could hear all the footsteps and anything that was dropped on the ground above me clearly, but with any shared living space this is to be expected.
I would definitely stay again and recommend 100% to anyone.
