I hate to do this given the fact my review will be different. First off, I'd like to thank you the owner for the stay. It helped as the past week was quite cold. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable etc. However, the lesson I have learned from this experience hopefully it'll be beneficial for the readers is I'd need to get all answers for questions that are not available or won't be disclosed on the listing for e.g in this case, all I know I'd share the bathroom, kitchen and living room with others but you don't know the number of rooms and people are sharing with. I traveled with my little 3 yr old girl and found it hard to be on the top floor making sure we would be as discreet and quiet as possible for others. One of the advantage that comes with airbnb is you would be able to fix a meal for yourself but in this case, the fridge was full! While inquiring about Michael's place. I also called the Hilton downtown Toronto (Richmond and University) for quote but Michael got back to me first and I decided to take it after looking at all the photos - The deciding factor was one of the photos which in the ad, of the street sign that says 'Queen street'
- a hint for location? You know you won't get to know the location unless you have paid for it right? Although it was my decision but I did feel a little misleading for an out of towner. Again, ask questions or ask to see the place if possible. Airbnb's cancelation policy should starts with the time the purchase confirmed vs the standard 24 or 48 hours. Airbnb would only give me 35 dollars back and it was only 20 mins after booking. By the way, Hilton was $79/night vs Michael's $90/night. But again very thankful. God bless!
