I was originally going to stay at Lynn's place only for a month as I searched for a new place but ended up extending my stay and living with her for almost five months!
A little bit of context: At the time I was staying with Lynn I had just moved to Toronto and was going to attend a full time course for a few months. My original plan was to use her place just as a landing base but it was so convenient and the rental market is so insane in Toronto right now that it just made sense to stay longer.
About the place: I cannot highlight enough just how amazing the location is. Specially in winter. You're a few steps from the subway, which can really make a difference when it's really cold and there's snow everywhere. In the summer it's pretty great too: You're very close to a really cool area in the Danforth, with all the bars and restaurants and grocery shops, and also very close to the Don Valley, one of the nicest green areas in the city. I highly recommend taking a stroll in the trails there and visiting Evergreen Brickworks, they have an awesome Farmer's Market. Lynn's place is also conveniently located close to a Toronto Public Library and a gym, for those inclined.
As for the house itself, the room is exactly as in the pictures, really nice and bright, and has a great view of the back garden. It does not have AC, so it did get hot in the summer months, but I turned on the fan and was fine. In winter it's really warm.
Lynn rents another smaller room in the house and my roommates were always very nice, chill people. I had some space in the kitchen to store my dry foods and space in the fridge, and I usually did laundry once a week. The internet plan was changed while I was there to a very fast plan with unlimited data, which was really great. The shower is also really good! Awesome water pressure!
I think the most important thing to notice about this place is that, unlike some other Airbnbs, this is very much Lynn's house. She works from home, has events there, and the house really doesn't feel like a sterile hotel.
Lynn herself is a really sweet person, super helpful, easy to communicate with. We often had meals together and talked about stuff, and I became good friends with the other girls who rented the second room as well. Her place has the particularities she has on her listing - vegetarian kitchen, natural cleaning products, etc - but that was never much of an issue for me.
My stay in this place was super smooth, very pleasant, and Lynn is an amazing host. Really good vibes in this house!
tl;dr: This is great value, a lovely place, incredible location, cool host. I recommend reading the house rules to make sure it's for you but really, one of the best places I could have possibly stayed at for my landing.
