I spent three weeks at Zein's place. It's literally across the street from Victoria Park subway station: you'll be in Downtown in about 30 min. Huge basement with half washroom, kitchen is on the first floor and shower on the second one. Zein is an excellent host: friendly, helpful and thoughtful; always very respectful, never intrusive. He addressed questions and concerns promptly, never had any problem. The place is as described. Perhaps the building could be better maintained, but this is not on Zein: he will do all he can to make your stay comfortable and make you feel at ease. If you're looking for a five-stars hotel room, this might not be the right place; if you're looking for a very friendly and welcoming experience, you'll find it here.
