Nice budget room to stay in. Shiro was very friendly and responsive. The basement room itself is very clean and equipped with everything you need in the first couple of weeks. If there is anything to be mentioned, it is going to be a small desk. The common area, however, depends on your luck regarding the neighbors in 4 other rooms. Most of my time was unlucky as the kitchen will have a pan, a pot, or something else left overnight. Most of the table spaces in the common area were occupied by one room's food supply. The laundry and dryer will cost you $2.5 each but are heavy-duty grade and definitely worth the price. Fire alarms can be trusted as I experienced 2 alarms in 2 weeks with someone overcooked their meals. Overall, good experience for my first stay in Canada.
