The moment I stepped into Mayte's house I felt very welcome. Mayte is an extraordinarily friendly and wonderful person and we had many interesting conversations during my stay. She was always receptive to what I had to say and was always quick to address any concerns I had (which were few and far between). It was also my great pleasure meeting Balin, Mayte's cat. He looks like a cat but has the personality of a dog which makes for an awesome mix.
The house and room are extremely clean and well equipped. It feels very "homely" and I had access to everything I needed.
As for location, the house is located in a quiet (and very green) neighborhood just steps away from the city. It's very close to groceries restaurants, theater, and cinema (5-10 min walk) . Subway is a 7 min walk (yonge-sheppard) and then a 25-35 min ride to downtown depending on where you're headed.
Overall Mayte is a great host and the room is very nice and comfy. This was a great Airbnb experience and I encourage anyone who is looking for a room close to downtown to give this room/host a go. I don't think you'll regret it.
