Very conflicted about this place as you'll see from my pros/cons below (especially #1 in each category). It will definitely be fine for some and a clear "avoid" for others. Overall, I would say this is a place for a guy (or maybe a couple) who either wants to hang with Bill or spend as little time as possible in the place (i.e. "just a bed").
Pros:
1) Bill truly is a super host. He gave me rides on several occasions, fed me when I arrived near midnight the first night, and provided me a bus pass to use (I didn't but appreciated the gesture). I'm sure had I been less busy he would have shown me around and possibly taken me for a ride on his boat.
2) The location is great as you're right near the waterfront and just a block and a half from the Bathurst streetcar stop. Also, it was much quieter than I expected even on the weekend nights.
3) It's one of the more affordable options in this part of the city.
4) Bed was comfortable, and shower was hot and strong.
Cons:
1) The place absolutely reeks of cigarettes. Even though it is technically smoke-free, everywhere inside the apartment smells, particularly the bathroom where the odor was intense at all times. When I returned home after the trip, all of my luggage and clothing needed laundering/airing out to get rid of the smell.
2) The place is very small. Essentially Bill sleeps on the couch while you sleep in his bed separated by an unlocked door. In the morning, this feels a bit awkward as I felt like I needed to move around the place on tiptoes to avoid waking him up (he was out until very late while I was there).
3) The bedroom is also tiny (bed takes up most of the room), and there is nowhere to put anything since his clothes are in the closet and the dresser. Also it got pretty warm at night since the closed window and AC are behind the large headboard, and there's minimal air flow.
