Bob and Yara’s place is right near Queen West, which is a great location. It is close to the park, local shops and great places to eat. It is comfortable, but for anyone staying here, there are a few things to be aware of:
1. This is a basement apartment. Be aware that the ceilings are rather low and there is very low light. It does not have the same brightness as in the photos.
2. If you visit in the summer, the apartment is extremely chilly, so come prepared. You do not have individual control over the A/C so some fuzzy socks and a warm sweatshirt is well advised.
3. The apartment has the basics, but come prepared. Based on a previous post, I had assumed there might be soap and/or coffee filters and that was not the case (as far as I could find). So, bring everything you need or prepare to get it while you are there.
I will say that Bob and Yara were extremely responsive to my email messages about the A/C and about apartment access upon arrival.
