This place is probably fine if you're just looking for a place to sleep after exploring a bit of Toronto during the day - for me this was a longer term stay where I was working remote for about 10 days, and I wouldn't recommend it for that, or for an isolation stay.
The bed was comfortable, the shower was big, and the hosts were quick to respond, which were some of the positives. It's also a nice location close to the lake.
A few things I did not enjoy:
- WIFI was not usable at times, and made it near impossible to work - had to go into the cupboard and connect via Ethernet Cable - the hosts were quick to respond and tried to help fix the issue which I appreciate, but ultimately we needed a technician to come enter the unit which I wasn't comfortable with.
- They send the longest set of instructions I've ever seen for getting into the building, it's a lot to read through and there are too many options.
- I had asked for an early check in two days before my stay - I got a generic response saying I had to ask on the day because they might have bookings (I could see there were no bookings on airbnb, and I'd assume they'd know whether there was a booking or not).
Then during my stay they told me there was an appraiser booked to come and take some photos of the place who would need entry (which I said no to and they did accept).
- The floor was incredibly sticky, every step you took your feet stuck to the floor, and you could hear the sound of stepping off.
- Bathroom sink is absolutely tiny.
- Two windows, neither of which can be opened - if you're in there for a long time you have no access to fresh air.
It feels a little like a property managed AirBnB for business (eg their generic response to early check in) rather than staying in someone's home, which is fine at times, and like I said, if I was only staying here for a few nights and spending most of my time out and about, this place would probably be fine - but I don't recommend for a long term stay.
