    Although the house is on a quiet street, we could hear the busy traffic from the main road further away. We had to close the window in order to keep the noise down. Cleanliness can be improved.

    Privacy........We had a room on the 1st floor with a bathroom and kitchenette to ourselves

    The pool wasn't very clean, I'd love to have a late night swim at your place someday if the pool is cleaned. 😊

    The host was very accommodating and the stay was very comfortable.

    The bathroom is a bit dated and the bath tub itself a bit stained. The kitchen utensils need to be refreshed.

    The room was very spacious and there was somewhere to store our luggage within the room without it being in the way. The parking was available on the drive. The bee was very comfortable. All the information was provided online and check in was easy. The shower pressure was very good.

    The homeowners do smoke. The smell reached our private room and bathroom. If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, caution in booking here

    Clean home and kind host.

    The electric fan was nit working well but didn’t really bother us much..

    It’s neat and clean..big room for us and we have the private bathroom to ourselves. It’s close to bus stop but quite a travel to downtown Toronto by commute. Closer if you drive. Owner is nice and place is quiet.. Large closets in the room with desk and TV. It’s humid during our stay and electric fan wasn’t working well but didn’t bother us at all. We’re used to warm humid weather. There was a common kitchen but no one seemed to use except for us which we didn’t use except to boil water for coffee.

    THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT REVIEW YOU READ ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. I have never had an issue with booking.com until I rented this location and it is an absolute travesty that their customer service refuses to remedy the situation that occurred. I rented this space because I wanted to be able to sleep for the night before returning home and I didn't get to do that at all. In fact I spent a total of about 15 minutes in the property, used the shower, towel, and left out of the property to go to an event. It is important to note that in the comments the property owner sent over it states and I quote "There's a door code. 在客人入住当天,我们会发送密码" For those of you not fluent in Chinese this says "On the day of check in, we will send the code to the guest." I never received a code and actually was let in by the owner themselves. When I returned to the property later I could not enter and still had no email confirmation of a code. I called the owner twice and received no answer so I had to drive back and cancel my plans for that Sunday. After making a complaint to booking.com the owner reached out and said they were willing to give 50% of what I paid for the property even though I was locked out and didn't use the property for more than a shower. Not a single blanket moved, not a single piece of furniture sat on, not a single appliance utilized. For some odd reason booking.com has taken the owners side and authorized half of the payment to return to my card and every time I try to reach out to an agent they will put me on hold and the call will drop. If you are considering this location I would absolutely look elsewhere because if you have an issue this person will not be honest about it at all. The owner is a scammer and was more than happy to take my money even though I didn't utilize the property. If I could give a 0 I honestly would for the simple fact that the property owner has zero integrity and refuses to take accountability
