The studio looks just like its pictured. Remember that it is a studio, which means a small single room unit. I like that the doors have keypads so no need to worry about keys and checking in/out. Don't forget to bring basic essential toiletry [ie: soap ;-)]. Nick was always pleasant and responded superfast. There is a bus stop on the corner and subway/train stations within a 12 minute walk. Don't rely solely on Google, try to figure out the public transportation system for yourself. I spent most of my time downtown and around Toronto so I can't comment on the community but it is said to be very lovely in the summer.
