This was my first Airbnb experience travelling alone to Toronto, and I'm glad I chose to stay here because Dino was very accommodating. He was understanding when my flight arrived late in the evening, and is thoughtful for making sure my stay here was enjoyable. He read off of my profile that I love drinking tea and reading, so he made sure to put out tea for me and laid out a travel guide and rider's guide to Toronto (how sweet!).
The place is exactly as advertised; it is a basement apartment so do expect to hear people walking upstairs but you still get your own privacy and quiet time. The whole place is spotless and clean. Dino was kind enough to leave out some food and water in the fridge. There are heaters and a fan in the bedroom and all the appliances worked. I honestly don't have any complaints about this place and the host because everything met my expectations. Thanks to Dino's kindness and hospitality, my experience here was a very positive one. He was also very communicative and patient when answering my questions, and made sure I had the necessities I needed.
The place is close to Dupont Station and St George Station which is further down the street, but there is also a bus stop around the corner. The neighbourhood is safe and residential and is close to Casa Loma and Royal Ontario Museum on Bloor St. (both walking distance)
Thank you Dino for allowing me to stay! I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and will come here again when I go back to Toronto.
