Guest Reviews
- Guest (10/5): A calm and comfortable stay overall. - I liked how quiet and peaceful the neighbourhood was. The place was clean, and check-in was easy. Communication with the host was also smooth. The room was a bit smaller than expected, and a few amenities could be improved, but nothing major.
- Amy (10/5): My stay was pleasant and he host was easy going! - The host was friendly and available anytime I needed anything. The neighborhood was was quiet and nice to walk in with little walkthroughs between streets. I seen lots of wild life, fox, deer, and coyotes. If your looking for a bite to eat or a grocery store they are close by and easy to access. The house was quiet during quiet hours which was great for my early nights, I was able to get a good rest. Overall the house was pretty quiet while I was staying at this property. Other people staying were respectful. The owner frequently checked in with me to make sure everything was okay. Overall it was a great experience. I look forward to booking again in the future. The weight area is in a common space should have weekend hours for those who are looking to sleep in a bit after a long week. Unfortunately other guests are not always respectable of others, which is no fault of the host. I was there 2 weeks it was just one night.
- Guest (8/5): very nice place for the value. - It was very nice stay. The owner of the property is very friendly and helpful. Room was very basic but comfortable we had everything we needed. Also, the kitchen was very nicely set up with many appliances, a lot of storage place, dishes, utensils, etc. Shared bathrum could be a bit cleaner.
- TATSUYA (1/5): -
- Ian (8/5): Restful - Everything Nothing
- Abu Mahmoud (1/5): - Location The towel was not clean . The wash room was smiling urine. The information in the add was not clear for the parking and i paied more money. The room was included drainage pump so the smile inside the room was very bad, no cancelation of the booking
- Van (10/5): -
- rosario (6/5): Overall it was nice - It was quiet No stove or kitchen
- Guest (1/5): Cauchemar - Je n'ai rien aimé !!!au contraire cauchemardesque !!! TOUS
- Ludovic (6/5): Bien mais arrivée décevante par de petits problèmes d'intendance - - Emplacement dans un quartier agréable et très calme
- Propreté de la salle de bain
- Sous-sol vaste et en bon état - Nous avions réservé pour 3 mais il y avait qu'un seul lit de fait (sur les 2) et nous n'avions qu'une serviette de toilette. Il a fallut qu'on demande le linge de lit pour le deuxième et qu'on fasse le lit (nous sommes arrivés vers 09:00 pm et nous étions fatigués). Il a fallut aussi demander 2 autres serviettes de toilette.
- Nous avions réservé 2 chambres (1 pour moi et ma conjointe et 1 pour ma belle-mère) mais je n'avais pas fait attention que la deuxième devait être partagée avec d'autres occupants. Pour ne pas que ma belle-mère (81 ans) se retrouve dans une chambre avec des inconnus, nous avons transféré son lit dans notre chambre : nous avions donc au final qu'une petite chambre pour 2 lits (3 occupants). Mais c'est de ma faute car je n'avais bien compris le système de réservation. A bien prendre en compte.
- La chambre pour 3 était très petite sans aucune ouverture extérieure (fenêtre).
- Propreté : l'ensemble est propre mais il ne faut pas regarder sous les lits
- Stationnement payant dans l'allée à 20 $ / nuit : beaucoup trop cher alors qu'il y a des places de disponibles dans les rues adjacentes (3mn à pied).
- Beaucoup de suppléments possibles payants
- Анна_Hanna_ (10/5): -
- Heidi (8/5): - De prijs-kwaliteit verhouding was helemaal prima: de lage prijs en basic kamer bevielen ons zeer goed. Niks viel tegen, we hadden geluk met rustige andere bezoekers
- Kasim (10/5): - Helpful host
Always available
Clean environment
Really nice area

- Teneisha (1/5): Worst trip afto book a hotel rooms where dirty bathroom dirty - Nothing it’s a scam It’s very dirty I didn’t stay there
- Gordienko (6/5): It’s okay for 1-2 nights. - The owner of house such a nice person. I was not warned that the room would be in the basement, I had no window at all. I had a private bathroom, but to get into it, I had to leave the room and pass by the common kitchen, where there were cameras. Too little privacy. Also is was extremely cold in the room, even with two blankets.
- Manuel (5/5): Passable -
- Aidan (3/5): The worst booking experience - Near to the supermarket and bus station. Quiet community. Perfect cleaning work by the cleaners Noisy neighbors calling in the early morning and evening, noisy doors opening and closing in the midnight, dirty sink, rooms in the basement without window, too many rules, camera in the kitchen, instable internet
- Oluwaseyi (10/5): Exceptional - The facility is budget friendly and got all the facilities needed Nothing to complain about.
- Saiby (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Everything.
The host - Al - was very accommodating and understanding that I misread his listing and allowed a few exceptions to occur as I booked his room in a rush after realizing my previous reservation was a scam at someone else's property.
Al is an amazing host that really ensures the comfort of his guests are met or exceeded.
The bed and washroom were great. You are a 10 minute walk to 3 different bus routes.
I highly recommend this place Nothing
- Castellano (6/5): Pleasant - Location A bit cold because it was a basement, shower curtains dirty, had to bath in flip flops shower was clearly not clean, hallways a bit dark. May be ok for a person who don't care about stuff like that.
- Pedro (9/5): Superb - Ofcourse I recommend it. Very accommodating place & kindness
- Tristan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jiaxin (9/5): Superb -
- Ola (10/5): Ok - Quiet area Neighbor shared washroom which was not supposed to be.
- Gautham (8/5): Very good -
- Zhaoyuan (9/5): Superb -
- Hisaya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Abish (9/5): Superb - Very fast internet, simple budget room, laundry facility, and good amenities were available here Bed felt too firm
- Xiaochen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Therese (9/5): Nice but no daylight - The place was very clean, and nicely decorated. It was easy to enter, once I got the instructions. The common areas were spacious, and it's nice to have access to a kitchen for light cooking. I knew that this was a basement-place, but I did not expect the bedroom to have absolutely no daylight whatsoever, no window well, no light tunnel, nothing. For a 1-night quick stay like mine this was ok (if a bit depressing), but it would really drag me down for a longer stay.
- Nimrat (10/5): Exceptional - cable TV & onsite mini gym was nice!
- Allan (9/5): Just what I needed between air travel - Location from airport. Simple, clean All good
- Reza (2/5): Very poor - Under the bed was filthy, bathroom wasn't clean. When I asked the host to refund the cleaning fee (after sharing pictures of how dirty things were), he not only refused, he made up some lies about my car leaking oil on his driveway (I drive a brand new electric car with no oil) and then tried to charge me for parking in his driveway and for a room upgrade, neither of which I asked for or required and were advertised as included). Just be aware, if something goes wrong, this is a very immature and unprofessional host who will take things personally and get very defensive. Booking.com is refunding my full stay as a result of this behavior.
- Ajnamars™ (10/5): my stay was wonderful here - just stayed here on a budget because it was of great value. had all amenities that I needed
- Ermiyas (5/5): Great hospitality, but the cleanliness needs more attention to match the experience. - The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful—he went out of his way to change my booking from a twin to a single room and even provided a better mattress for added comfort. Communication was smooth and cordial throughout. The overall cleanliness of the property needs improvement. The bedroom had noticeable dust and hair, and I had to clean part of it myself. The kitchen also had a pile of garbage that wasn’t removed in a timely manner. Regular weekly cleaning would greatly improve the experience, especially considering the price.
- Haeseong (10/5): Great value stay and location - I stayed in the private double room for almost a week. The checkin/checkout process was smooth because clear instructions are given in advance. I found the room was cozy but spacious, it had 2 single beds and I slept on one. The bathroom was clean and had shampoo, soap, and other toiletries. The place was close to where I needed to go so the location seemed very convenient for me. I didn't see the staff that often but whenever I needed something I sent a text message and it was promptly addressed. All this made the stay of great value for me! In the other room there was a guest that was talking very loudly on the phone in the night so the noise was a problem for one of the nights I stayed there. It seems he was not following the house rules for "quiet hours".
- Ilia (10/5): Exceptional - Big double-sized bed was very comfortable.
Thanks for the free upgrade!
- Andrii (9/5): Superb -
- Xirui (9/5): Superb - I upgrade to another room in the house after booking but I liked everything from the cleanliness to the nice lighting to the comfortable bed to the facilities. It was easy to use everything and instructions were straightforward and easy to use and follow. Room didn't have a tv, if it did then would be amazing!
- Michael (1/5): Bad - Nothing No where close to Dowbtown, smelled like curry, found out was sharing room with refugee, host wanted $100 cash deposit after shitty room was already for, but free camel rides in morning to mosque was included, will get a hotel next time in Toronto
- Samson (8/5): Very good -
- Ejike (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yang (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lauren (10/5): Great value for money. Lovely host. - Booked the property on a budget and it was great value for money. I had the room with private bathroom, the bathroom is located outside the room not inside for reference so bring a cover up or change inside the bathroom for privacy.
The host was great at communicating and the property has great amenities - kettle, microwave, gym, fridge, hairdryer etc.
Great location for what I needed. Can be noisy at times as it’s shared so you can hear others coming and going. Also noise from above the rooms, however as a whole everyone that was there when I stayed was very respectful and tried to keep noise to a minimum.
Towels could do with an update but they smelled fresh and clean.
- Ritam (10/5): Great value stay - My stay was excellent and of great value! Didn't have any issue throughout the stay, host allowed me to checkout late, and I even received my deposit refunded back few days after the checkout. I will book here again in the future! none
- Antquain (10/5): Exceptional - I really liked the warm & cozy room. Quiet place.
- Tonny (10/5): Great value stay, my go to place in Toronto - communication and dealing with the host was awesome no issues for me
- Vasimbhai (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet peaceful room, smooth checkin/checkout process and clear helpful instructions as I arrived late.
- Mabong (6/5): Pleasant - It is clean The washroom is separate from the room, when i booked it, it was stated that double room with private bathroom.
- Tsz (1/5): Not a pleasant stay - Nothing I booked one bed in a twin bedroom, I thought it was for single use room price. After confirming the booking, and receiving a message from the host, this is a shared twin bedroom. I have to share with another guest of any gender. It doesn't list clearly on the room information but only on the fine print, since the booking is nonrefundable I have no choice!
Also, the host asked for a $100 refundable deposit via Paypal, it’s quite bothering me! Not everyone uses Paypal, and it took 14 days to get back the money…
The facilities are limited, the electricity supply is not strong enough to use two kitchen appliances at the same time. The shared bathroom is not very clean. During my stay, someone from the host’s family suddenly popped up to take a shower, and it was so weird.
To be honest, for this quality and need to share with others, there are so many choices at downtown, the location there is very far from the airport and overpriced.
- Mehdi (10/5): Exceptional -

- Oyinmiebi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tran (10/5): Great for solo travellers! - I really liked the shuttle service from airport because I was unfamiliar with the new place and host arranged it so I don't have problems to find house at midnight checkin. Thanks!
- Favour (9/5): Superb - Beautiful arrangements for a newcomer, easily accessible to nearby shops to get phone charger, foods etc. Host was helpful and kind. Room became cold at night and didn't know where to find the heater
- Richard (10/5): Enjoyed my stay. Very quiet space. -
- Ahmed (1/5): Bad -
- Sampayan (10/5): Exceptional - The neighbourhood was very nice and close by to where I needed to go!
- Mayowa (9/5): Superb - Very helpful host and I enjoyed my stay here
- Yohance (1/5): The host should request all payments through booking, not to be sent in direct transfers after a booking is made. - The pictures look decent and the location was good for where I needed to spend time in Toronto. Scam signs. Full disclosure, I didn’t get the opportunity to stay at this place. I paid for 3 nights, non-refundable, but failed to look through the fine print saying that there was an extra $100 fee to be sent to the host outside of Booking. The $100 is supposedly refundable, but there’s no guarantee that any money would be refunded by the host. When I asked about protection for the guest, the host said that it’s recommended for guests to have travel insurance. Maybe this place is legitimate, but the scam signs are high. Make sure to read the fine print before booking a stay here.
- Palmer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pwaldner (7/5): Good -
- Ao1three (9/5): Superb -
- Md (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful neighbourhood and great accommodation. Highly recommended!
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - Stayed just one night to catch a flight the next day, and this space was exactly what I was looking for! It was clean and efficient, and the people were so friendly and accommodating. The instructions to get in the house were thorough and very helpful, and the space was clean and tidy. Would recommend! Just recommend having extra cleaning towels in the washroom and a basket near the entrance way to place used towels for laundry.
- Arkadii (1/5): Bad - I rented a double room and paid for two beds. The owner immediately confirmed the reservation, and when my wife and I arrived, they did not let us into the house and did not want to find out the reason. The staff just kept saying that it was a booking error. We were tired after a whole day of traveling by car, so we had to look for something I think this is a scam I do not recommend renting this. ...The owner is now lying and getting out of it instead of apologizing and returning the money. I paid for a room with two beds. And instead of correcting the booking errors, you locked yourself inside, enjoying the money you stole from me. This is your attitude towards guests. Stolen money is useless. Your dishonest business will burst like a soap bubble.
- Andrii (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mazhar (9/5): Superb -
