Miya is a lovely host, who is very attentive and organised. Though the furnishing in the house was old, Miya kept the place clean and tidy. During my stay, the house rooms were fully occupied by other tenants, but Miya managed the logistics efficiently. Throughout my stay, Miya was always available to help - she was literally just a message away! I really appreciated this.
Just a note of caution to those who are light sleepers, the place has rather thin walls and the floor creaks a little, so you can hear and be heard! Otherwise, the neighborhood is generally calm and quiet, and I felt very safe.
Location wise, it is perfect for someone who likes to be close enough to downtown, but doesn't like to live in the heart of the bustling of activity. Kipling metro station is just a stone's throw away, and you can travel to downtown in under 30 mins.
There are 2 grocery shops close by - Farm Boy and Food Basics, both of which are about 10-mins walk from the house . There are also some nice and humble restaurants / take out around the hood, in case you need a warm meal and do not feel like cooking (Miya's kitchen is fully equipped). Personally, I ate at Mekong River, and would recommend this restaurant for their nice portions and fairly good prices (in comparison to restaurants in Toronto)
Overall, for the price, Miya's place was a steal!
