This is a bright, clean, spacious basement apartment in a quiet residential neighborhood. Casper and Heather are outstanding and experienced hosts - they are very accommodating and easy to communicate with. They also seem to be updating and improving their space continuously. We stayed for one month and we were perfectly comfortable.
The bedroom had a dresser, wardrobe, narrow shelving unit, and bedside table for our belongings. The queen bed was comfortable, and Casper brought us fresh sheets after the first week. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook simple meals every day (no dishwasher, but this seems to be common). The bathroom had a large shower with a wood bench and good water pressure (no bath), a cabinet and drawers for toiletries, and plenty of extra shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion. The living room had a pull out couch, two chairs with foot stools (one was a rocking chair), a 40" TV with cable, fast WiFi, and an iMac (which we didn't use, but was still a nice touch). There were two Dyson hot + cool fan heaters, which were very helpful for regulating the temperature in the winter. There is no washer/dryer, but there is a nice cafe/laundromat less than 1km away (Yummi). The apartment has a separate, covered entrance, with a narrow path that Casper shoveled for us in the mornings when it snowed.
The location is close to main streets like St. Clair and Dupont, but it still feels a little far to walk to shopping/restaurants, especially when it's cold out. That being said, it is a 10 minute walk to the streetcar, or a 20-30 minute walk to the nearest subway. A few of our favorite places nearby were Dante's Inferno Paninoteca, Dark Horse Espresso Bar, Blood Brothers Brewing, and Imonay Korean Restaurant.
If you are sensitive to noise, Casper and Heather have two young girls that you will hear upstairs every day (they are transparent about this in their description). When we were there, the girls were active in the evenings and on weekends, but never when we were trying to sleep. If this doesn't bother you, then this is a great find.
Overall, we would highly recommend Casper and Heather's place for both short- and long-term stays. It is one of the better deals you will find in the middle of the city. Enjoy!
