My friend and I rented the room on the top floor for about two months and feel like we were tricked. With that being said, there were more cons than pros at this house.
In the listing he fails to mention that they have kids that come over on the weekends and after school as well that there are also two full time residents. On this listing, it says that the hosts name is Dylan but once we got to the house, the hosts name was John which is why the reviews at this place have 2 different names as the host.
The kids are loud, misbehaved and have walked into our room and the bathroom on multiple occasions as well as being loud at any time of day and our host blew it off as kids being kids. There were no quiet hours that were enforced which lead to the kids making a ruckus next to our room at 7:30 am on the weekends. The loud noise started to become consistent which made us upset and had to ask for them to be quiet in the mornings on the weekend.
As for the house it was always dirty and we felt uncomfortable wearing socks in the house. We always wore slides/slippers while in the common areas. The house is not well taken care of which results in everything falling apart. As for the kitchen good luck turning the sink on or opening the fridge without the handles falling off.
As for the house our room was great but everything else didn’t meet the rental description. The bathroom looks like a diy renovation gone wrong. The sink handle leaks out of the and there’s holes in the wall. the shower door isn’t sealed so it leaks through the floor into the kitchen as well. The water was always extremely hot or too cold and it was not adjustable in the shower so if you want to adjust it you have to try asking the host to adjust it.
They did allow us to have our cat which was very nice but overall it really isn’t worth the price they’re charging and we felt they are taking advantage of due to the Toronto housing crisis. As well as everything listed above our host failed to tell us his kids had Covid until a week after they tested positive. We felt it was extremely ignorant and we even noticed our host hiding from us as he displayed symptoms as well which resulted in both of us getting sick the day before we had to drive back across the country. If your looking to sit in your room all day then it’s a great choice but if you want a decent quality of life I’d search elsewhere.
