I stayed at Alina's for 4 weeks, between April and June 2014. Upon arrival, I was given a rundown on the house and where the closest subway station was (which was only about a 8 min walk) There is also a large grocery store within 10 mins, and Gerrard Square (with a food court, Walmart, Food Basics, and other small stores.) about 15 min walk away.
The house is very spacious and clean and you definitely feel at home. The room was a reasonable size with plenty of storage, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Another big plus is a washer and dryer is available. I will definitely stay with Alina again and would recommend.
