Vivian and Phi are friendly and welcoming hosts. They left us small treats in our room at the time of check-in. They respond very quickly to messages and gave us amenities like a room heater and a dehumidifier to make it more comfortable for us. Their house is clean and regularly maintained. They have a lovely, well maintained yard with a swing. They even provided us with a good recommendation that helped us rent an apartment in downtown.
The house is well connected to public transport and is close to the lakeshore. If you are comfortable sharing a basement apartment (kitchen and bathroom) with other guests, then it is a great deal for its price. There is also some construction noise from the neighbors next door, often early at 7am. This can thankfully be muffled by the double pane ventilators.
My partner and I stayed here for 3 weeks. Our stay was mostly pleasant except for one time when the first of our many flatmates, who was less tolerant of our ethnicity, demonstrated hostile and almost violent behavior towards us. Fortunately, Airbnb and the hosts intervened before we called the cops. Vivian and Phi helped us out as soon as they could, by making him leave.
Apart from this unfortunate incident, we had a pleasant stay overall. There were fresh breakfast items (bread, eggs, jam etc) re-stocked each week and a variety of cooking utensils available in the kitchen. The bathroom was likewise stocked with amenities like toothpastes, soap and shampoo etc. We had fun exploring Toronto and would totally recommend staying here, thanks for everything.
