I would recommend staying at Daniel’s place for a short term stay but not for a longer stay. In the 4 months I stayed at Daniel’s place I experienced the following:
-His fridge froze my food (eggs, yoghurt, soup) to ice on multiple occasions.
-Parts of the stove stoped working during cooking twice.
-The dishwasher is very outdated and doesn’t clean dishes properly.
-The furnace was changed during winter and there was 24 hours without heat.
-Daniel enjoys talking on the phone but unfortunately there is an echo through the ventilation system so you can hear every word.
-If you like to occasionally sleep in late make sure to bring earplugs because the place is not ideal for sleeping in due to loud creaking from the stairs and loud talking on the phone early in the morning on weekends.
However the location is great, close to bus/streetcar/subway, grocery and the beach. 30-40 min public transit to downtown and 15min with a car.
