To be honest, I was a bit leery about staying in a basement. This basement, however, is very, very nice. It has beautiful wood floors. The bedroom, living / dining areas is generously sized. There is a full kitchen and a nice bathroom. It has a private entrance. Newly remodeled and handsomely decorated this space is nicer than many homes and way, way nicer than almost any hotel room. With lots of great restaurants close by and only about 20 minutes from downtown Toronto, I highly recommend this place.
