Location:
The house is down a laneway/ alleyway
People walk down the alley day and night and trash pickup in the morning woke me up one Monday morning
I looked out my window and saw three guys peeing one day. To be fair I also saw a neighbour watering her extensive plant collection on her roof, that was cute. I know the city and area so I felt safe but I think it’s worth mentioning so people can make an informed decision.
On bus and street car line
Ossington is a trendy street and a lot of good restaurants along college as well. Although ‘affluent area’ is more of a comment on the inflation of the housing market in Toronto than the quality of the building and those around it.
The house:
The house is not marked with a house number
And the front door is not particularly well lite at night
The parking is free, it is gravel and uneven, so heads up if you have a low car
With a key code you enter the door, there is a ‘unit’ (room with a door) on the first floor and two on the second (this listing being one of the rooms on the second floor)
The room:
This space is a bedroom of a house with a bathroom. The door is only an internal bedroom door that the host has put a lock box on. Not very secure.
There were 4 bottled waters in the fridge that was nice
Nice to have kettle, mugs, plates and cutlery, but not set up to wash dishes, the bathroom sink is small so you can do them in the shower but no dish soap or sponges were provided
Communication:
May got back to me right away.
Check in and parking information is provided the day of, no sooner.
Overall the space was sunny and it was nice to open the big window with a screen. It served its purpose for my trip but I don’t think I would recommend it to my friends and don’t think it’s worth the current rate.
