Cons: Photos are not entirely accurate. Expertly taken along with shifting furniture/items actually taking up more space than one might think based on photos. Bathroom is not in same room -- in hallway where rest of building tenants are frequently. Laundry machine/dryer right outside room with signal going off loudly several times a day and at night. Every footstep is audible from upstairs. Area is not the cleanest nor safest. Opening front door I was confronted by crack dealers/consumers. Corner stores all closed early in area for same reason. No accessible windows. Very humid and no AC (hotter inside than out). Cheap sheets/mattress/pillows. Television did not work for me.
Pros: Great location as far as distance to Xyz downtown goes. Incredibly good communication from host and they seem very kind. Friendly maid. Water bottles provided and mini fridge works quite well. Fans provided to alleviate humidity. Nice soap and towels provided for shower. Great water pressure and temperature from tap. Very nice and clean toaster oven available. Nice paintings to add ambience. Nice lights.
Guessing you get what you pay for and the value is good; though it is hard for me to judge this fact because I went on busiest weekend in Toronto this summer and prices were all high.
Still worth your stay. If you just need to rest your head somewhere and weather isn't too hot out, you will be fine. And if prices are good then you may just leave very happy. Again, host is incredibly kind.
I am a meticulous person and part of my job is reviews + cleaning, so take this into consideration while reading review. Thank you.
