mike & carmen are a very nice couple. we truly enjoyed our stay at their place. mike is very responsive, understanding and helpful. the house is a little old and needs some maintenance but it was exactly like the pictures, no TV connection though. the place is a little out of central toronto, but public transportation is convenient. it takes about 45-60 min. to go downtown by public transportation and 25-30 min. if you lyft or uber. there is a great shopping complex called stockyards village close to their place. many shops and restaurants, you can find everything there. they have a tenant in the basement. they have a separate entrance but the walls are thin. so if you’re looking for total privacy, this may not be the place for you. it didn’t bother us much. our overall experience was very positive. great value for money.
