This is my first experience using Airbnb and I was skeptical. I emailed Gord with questions about cleanliness, amenities, distance to public transportation etc and Gord will reply within 24 hours everytime. He even offered different options on how to get to his place from the airport and we used his recommendation and loved it. Overall, our stay at Gord's apartment was fantastic.
Location: Is safe as we were out till late most nights. It's conveniently situated from a bus stop about 2 blocks away. You can take most of the buses to the nearest subway or there's a bus that goes to Piccadilly, Soho, Chinatown area. For those who are travelling with huge suitcases like us (family of 4 on a 16-day trip) need to be prepared to walk up the flight of steps to the 3rd floor. Well, it's only one-time.
Cleanliness: All rooms, bathrooms, bed sheets and linens were clean.
Amenities: It's equipped with almost everything you have at home, even apple TV.
I will definitely recommend Gord's apartment to anyone who is looking for a place to feel like home - comfortable and clean.
