Marlene is a great person, she’ll respect your privacy, care about you, offer you to collect lettuce from her own plantation, she is the best!
So the basement place is the same as she, very clean, neat, organized, with hot water, lots of space (we started with 2 and finished with 5), so it’s good for all kind of groups, for your and your wife, or for a small group/family!
You can cook there, no worries about what time you get home, just respecting the common sense of not getting crazy loud at very night time, as normal in Toronto.
And it’s very close to the subway, also she has a very organized book of places to go and what to do in Toronto, as same as where to eat or order food!
So, it’s the best place you could ever want to stay in Airbnb, for a very honest price!
