Guest Reviews
- Martin (10/5): Amazing - Awesome vibe to be honest. Eno was super accommodating and helpful and the place was so clean and had everything we needed! The only downside is that you can’t be too loud as the walls are connected.
- Viktoriia (10/5): - Eno welcomed us very warmly. She immediately showed us where the room was and everything we needed for our stay. The room and bathroom were very clean, and everything felt very cozy. It’s a quiet street and neighborhood. Thank you for your hospitality! We were happy to stay with you and would definitely recommend your place!
- Almudena (10/5): -
- Alex (9/5): - Limpio, Eno es muy amable. Amé todo
- Konstantinos Pefkianakis (10/5): -
- Ismaiel (9/5): Rapport qualité/prix au top ! - Très bel appartement situé dans un quartier résidentiel, bien décoré et bien aménagé et très illuminé situé à 15 minutes à pieds de Dunda Square.
L’hôte, très sympa, est d’une grande gentillesse en plus d’être accueillante.
- Jo-Anne (10/5): -
- Oksana (10/5): -
- Marie (10/5): Parfait! - L’accueil, l’attention portée aux visiteurs, la propreté, la décoration, l’emplacement, la possibilité de stationner dans la rue.. tout! C’était parfait’ Rien!
- Larisa (9/5): - clean, quiet, and in a wonderful location
- Nakkai (10/5): -
- Heather (10/5): Perfect - Outstanding… I was so impressed that I’ve had to rethink every previous review I’ve completed on booking.com.
Great location, decor, comfort, host was very friendly and helpful, there was an electric kettle, free tea, coffee and even bananas 🍌
- Maciej (10/5): -
- Yaelle (9/5): -
- Pascal (10/5): Endroit propre, de base, à prix budget, et qui en donne beaucoup pour le prix payé. - L'endroit est propre et tranquille. Une salle de bain partagée pour deux chambre -- une salle d'eau supplémentaire est également disponible au rez-de-chaussé en cas d'urgence. Les petites attentions ont également été apprécié. Eno est une hôte formidable: accueillante, aidante, et elle s'occupe exceptionnellement bien de son endroit. Les notes sur cet endroit sont très bien méritées. Absolument rien de négatif pour la chambre et l'appartement comme tel. Pour l'environnement extérieur, c'est à dire les alentours du logement (les rues, le "quartier", ou le "hood" à proprement parler), bien il est un peu spécial pour quelqu'un qui n'est plus habitué de vivre dans une "grosse ville"... Il est préférable de ne pas se promener trop dehors passé une certaine heure, disons. Mais je l'admets, cela n'est aucunement la responsabilité de l'hôte.
- Jules (9/5): -
- ashley (10/5): - Eno was warm and welcoming and met us upon arrival . Home is very homey and comfortable . Cute bar within walking distance...The Golden Pigeon. Tim Hortons open 24/7 right on the corner. $10 uber into downtown core . Really enjoyed staying here, all the comforts of home nestled in the city
- Maria (9/5): perfect -
- mei (10/5): 非常好! - 卫生非常好!地点和周边配套极为方便,房东热情、耐心、乐于助人,整个住宅有设计感。体验感很好!有机会会再住这里,也愿意介绍给其他朋友。
- Matteo (10/5): -
- Jeannine Estelle (9/5): tres bon sejour - proche de la gare et du centre ville La chambre etait un tout petit peu froide. Mais il avait des couvertures epaisses pour compenser
- Isaac (10/5): -
- Екатерина (10/5): - Очень уютное, чистое жилье, прекрасный хост. Комнаты маленькие, но чистые, кровати комфортные. Ванную нужно делить с другими гостями. В номерах и ванной комнате есть все необходимое, в общей гостиной можно утром выпить чай и позавтракать (продукты разрешается хранить в холодильнике).
В квартире продуманы все детали, она сделана с большой любовью.
Большое спасибо за гостеприимность, вернемся еще
- Aya (10/5): -
- Jana (10/5): I strongly reccomend this room for stay!!! - Very kind owner. She welcomed us, recommeded where to park our car (next block to appartment) and what to see in city. Room was VERY clean, bathroom equiped with EVERYTHING for free - not only shower gel and shampoo, but also cleansing pads, cosmetic etc. everything was perfect, really! maybe the only small thing - rooms are quite small, but beds are big and comfortable.
- Ramatoulaye (10/5): One of the best places in town - The host was amazing. I am so used to Airbnbs but this one truly shocked me. The host was so nice, welcomed us, and even helped take our luggages to the room. This has never happened to me. The place was so clean and smelled soo good. I wasn’t new to the city but I found it really cute that they had a travel guide for new comers. The bathroom was so clean and just perfect. I loved everything.
- Diana (1/5): - the place was really clean and comfortable I felt a lot of harassment from the host. Keep in mind that if you happen to see her, she will keep bothering you about cleaning, picking everything up, taking everything you brought and not leaving anything behind. There are reminders posted all throughout the place, and on top of that, someone is pressuring you to follow them. I understand wanting to keep things tidy, but I've never experienced this kind of harrassment anywhere else, their attitude feels like you are not really welcome and they already want you to leave. The place itself is nice, but this experience would make me reconsider satying here again.
- Felix (9/5): - Super friendly and welcoming place, amazing host, and good location to explore Toronto. We very much enjoyed our stay!
- Robert (5/5): - Location good, apartment was excellent. Comms with owner/provider. Not popular with other tenants, poor reviews nearly made us cancel.
- Alexandra (9/5): -
- Arantxa (10/5): Una buena elección - La atención de Eno fue espectacular, la comodidad de las camas y toda la habitación, la limpieza impecable, todos los detalles que tiene es sin lugar a duda un lugar para repetir. La ubicación está en una zona con muchos homeless pero no es peligroso.
- Sow (10/5): It was wonderful the host was kind and offered a souvenir and also had free chargers and was super amenable to me needin - I liked the decorations and homely feel N/A although the room was a bit cramped
- SIDNEY APARECIDO (10/5): - Recomendo! Tudo limpo e muito organizado. Voltaremos com certeza
- Janie (10/5): Wonderful and affordable. - Lovely host so welcoming. Very comfortable and quiet. A little far from downtown
- HEITZLER (6/5): - Possibilité de faire un café mais pas de petit déjeuner proposé, relativement proche des points d'intérets touristiques de la ville si moyen de locomotion, a pied cela reste loin. Accessibilité par de nombreux escaliers, taille de chambre réduite ne permettant pas d'y emporter les valises necessaires lors d'un voyage intercontinental. Parking aléatoire dans la ruelle, peu de places disponibles.
- Nathalie (8/5): - Très gentil accueil. Chambre petite mais propre et lits confortables Rien.
- Marie (10/5): - Place tres propre , communication tres facile et rapide , Eno donne un tres bon service , beaucoup de petites attentions, je recommande 1000 fois
- James (9/5): -
- Kathryn Rose (10/5): Excellent! - Eno was a great host! Very responsive! The house is very clean and tidy. Very good location too.
- MissKat1980 (9/5): truly a home in downtown - we liked everything - truly a home in downtown
- Gabriella (10/5): Perfect stay, great host! - Eno is a great host! The house is located in a really good location and the room was really comfortable. The living room area and kitchen are so cozy as well
- Erin (10/5): - Friendly staff, beautiful home, very welcoming. Everything was great!
- Aigerim (10/5): - I loved absolutely everything, starting from the great location, the cleanliness of the house, the cozy atmosphere, the thoughtful details, the super hospitable host, and the feeling of being at home
- Jim (10/5): - add should have info on shared accomadation not very clear
- Richard (10/5): -
- Elaine (7/5): I didn’t get a good rest or sleep because the place was too hot. - Pleasant decor and atmosphere. That I could not control the temperature in my sleeping area. It was too hot for sleeping, there was air conditioning in the building, but it was set too high to do any cooling in my area.
- Roland (10/5): -
- Miriam (10/5): - Perfect stay!
The host was super nice and welcoming, the room was comfortable and I liked that it was close enough to the city centre but at the same time in a quieter neighborhood. A supermarket right around the corner.
- Dokyung (9/5): - 가격 대비 가성비가 좋네요. 추천해요
- Hulgur (2/5): -
- Berame (10/5): -
- Jean-louis (3/5): A éviter - La maîtresse de maison qui impose d'entrée de retirer ses chaussures
Les cloisons si médiocres qu'on entend distinctement les voisins
Le quartier infâme
- Halas (8/5): Reasonable price and decent location - It was very clean Shared bathroom unfortunately
- Darrin (9/5): A great facet to my interesting trip. - Everything I needed. Eno was awesome and helpful for a newcomer to Toronto. I came in late and she was very understanding.
- Zu (10/5): -
- Nicolas (10/5): Unglaublich schön - Alles war super! Die Gastgeberin Eno ist super nett.
Außerdem gibt es kostenloses Obst! Nichts
- Yue (9/5): -
- Simon Quintal (10/5): - Impeccable. L'hôte a pensé à tout. Rien, c'est vraiment épatant.
- Jorge (8/5): - Tracte anfritió.Neteja Barriada. Rodejat de homeless i drogoaddictes.
- samara (10/5): -
- Nady (10/5): Simple, pratique et propre. - L’accueil de Eno était super !
- Seyedehfatemeh (9/5): The place was wonderful - Clean, neat, attention to details Price can be more a little bit lower
- Jordi (8/5): - Habitación en una casa de tres plantas. Muy limpio, equipado y con todo lo necesario. Las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas para dos adultos, la verdad. Por lo demás, todo muy correcto.
- Francisca M Sir (10/5): - Fue la segunda vez que fui a alojarme allí porque me encanta la casa!! La habitación es muy acogedora ;)
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Eno's place is great, very comfortable, clean and has everything you need for a good stay. He's also the kindest host. Would definitely stay there again!
- Eli (8/5): Good value for money if you are up for a place to sleep with a shared toilet . - Everything was very clean. Room rather small.
- Sarah (10/5): Hosts super nice and helpful! Great location! 😊 - The hosts were super nice, very helpful 🫶 Everything was perfectly clean and tidy, and the location’s great! 😊 The parking situation wasn’t ideal… To avoid getting fined, we had to park in an underground parking across the street (which was practical in theory) and pay around CAD30$ a day for it. There’s an app that you can download, but it was WAY cheaper to pay for parking in person, so we had to wake up at 6am each morning to go pay for it (that’s when the « parking day » starts). And also the AC wasn’t great, it got very warm in the room. Otherwise it was perfect!!!
- Mariia (10/5): It's perfect place for rest! - It went very well. The location is very convenient, it was easy to find. Did not have any difficulties with check in. One minute and you are already resting in a clean, warm, soft bed after a long journey! Nothing. Everything was great!
- Wu (10/5): Would totally come back! - Super easy check-in, clean and quiet place, really nicely decorated. The host was super friendly!
- Omar (10/5): Perfect place for a couple days in Toronto ! - Clean and cosy
- Chand (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rhiannon (10/5): Wonderful place for a short stay in Toronto! - We had a really pleasant stay! The unit was clean, comfortable and convenient, everything you could ask for! Eno was also very friendly and great with communication, thanks so much for hosting us! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Toronto 😊
- Stanislav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lena (9/5): Superb - We were greeted warmly by the host upon arrival. The home is very welcoming and the room is perfect for a weekend trip. Our host gave us water bottles, ear plugs, bananas and a ton of little extras amenities that you don't expect from a homestay. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. I liked that the bathroom had everything a girl needs (hairdryer, hair iron, pads, tampons etc.) A really good place for location and value :) It wasn't the host's fault but the bathroom with shower is shared with the neighbouring room. Our neighbour was quiet but since we came back around the same time, we had to wait a while to use the shower.
- Brittney (10/5): Beautiful and cozy home - The host was absolutely amazing. Ensured we were comfortable, helped carry luggage up the stars and helped us plan our day in Toronto.
- Maryanne (10/5): Fabulous hostess in a delightful perfectly kept home. - Eno had two rooms she rents and we were fortunate to get both for our stay in Toronto after a convention south of the city. Her place is immaculate and totally perfect for a stay in Toronto.
- Hannah (9/5): Superb - Eno was very friendly and welcoming. The house was tidy and clean.
- Heather (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kephart (10/5): Overall am satisfied with my stay. It’s super clean and perfect for a short stay. - The room/property is very clean. The owner/host is also very responsive with questions. It’s a shared bathroom but that’s why it’s much cheaper than hotels
- Elizabeth (9/5): We've stayed in quite a few guest houses of similar type in Toronto, and this was by far the best. - Value for money, impeccably clean, friendly and communicative host, convenient downtown location. Access to kitchen, tea and even bananas provided. The neighbourhood can be a bit rowdy at night, but we knew that, and Home in Downtown is on a quiet street. There were no issues.
While the kitchen was generally well appointed, and there was a kettle and tea and instant coffee, we would have liked access to a coffee maker (even a simple cone).
- Gary (9/5): Superb -
- David (10/5): Very nice stay, I would come back! - Friendly welcome, coffee and refrigerator available, very clean. Plenty of charging stations. Room is small. Private bathroom is actually across the hall. Not problems for me but just to let others know.
- Algotyte (9/5): Great - Welcoming , flexibility Nothing
- Dustyn (9/5): Perfect place to stage a weekend away in Toronto - Very good location. Clean neighbourhood and lots of amenities within a block.
- Jacob (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maryan (9/5): Great! - No breakfast here. None.
- Campbell (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kremena (10/5): Great place to stay in Downtown - It was very clean. The staff was amazing! The area felt a little bit unsafe.
- Mariachiara (10/5): Exceptional - The host has been amazing
- Tamami (9/5): The location is amazing. Room is so clean. House owner is so friendly. - I booked it for my friend from another city. He loved it!
When we checked in together, I thought the space was nice and so clean, looked comfortable and lovely. No complaints. I'm so happy to find this place!
- Liu (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and clean. Thin walls
- Brandon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohammed (10/5): Exceptional - The home was well furnished and had everything and more that a guest would need. The room was very well thought out and hosts were extremely accommodating. Super quick with responding to messages and allowing me to drop off my luggage earlier. Definitely would recommend for a solo/couple.
- Sandra (8/5): Very good -
- Cassandra (9/5): Lovely stay ! - Lovely home with all the facilities! Very cosy and warm.
Its location is very convenient and the tenant is very welcoming !
