This basement apartment is exactly as advertised. It’s steps from the heart of one of Toronto’s trendiest neighbourhoods, including a small grocery, a Tim’s and loads of great independent food and shopping options. The apartment itself is gorgeous. The shower is waterfall with great pressure, the internet seems to average somewhere between 10-30Mbps service, and the sectional and bed are cozy. You can hear a little bit from upstairs, but this isn’t a problem unless you are very sensitive to noise. Melissa replies promptly and politely to texts, though I had no need to contact her once I was in the apartment because I needed for nothing thanks to her preparation and cleanliness.
