The information about how to get into the property was sent after I had left UK so I didn't receive the email. Fortunately, our taxi driver allowed us to use his phone as a UK phone would not ring a Canadian phone. I think instructions should be sent earlier as we had travelled a long way and were not able to get in. We were a long way from the city. I think it needs to be pointed out that there is a TTC train that takes you to the right area as it was confusing when we first arrived.

The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean. There was tea and coffee available. The wifi worked well.

First of I appreciate second my breakfast was so good third cleanness 👍

Stayed in October 2023

The shared bathroom was clean when we arrived, but by the end of our stay there was some hair on the floor.

The host gave us some toothpaste when we arrived and was patient enough to let us check in a bit after 10PM. Room was nice, clean and cozy and neighborhood was nice for jogging. They even had a lot of stuff in the fridge free to take for the guests. Very kind.

Good location and breakfast.

The location, the shared bath wasn't ideal. If I had to do it over I would probably look for a cheap hotel downtown. Initially I booked 5 nights. I had meant to book 4 but the business wouldn't refund me for the mistake so I stayed the 5 nights. I think the practice of not refunding people when they make a mistake with an on line booking is extremely bad business. It's certainly not the kind of practice that brings customers back. Nobody wants to feel as though the owners self interest is more important than the quality of their own experience. The check out time, I feel, reflects that same kind of self interested attitude. 10am is just too early to ask guests to vacate rooms. I recently visited a Quality Inn whose check out time was 12 noon. I will book absolutely book with them again. Even though I did not have a bad experience at Village at York U I probably wouldn't book with them again for that reason, primarily. I would have no trouble recommending the place though. Melanie was a kind and accomodating host. If solo travellers need a bit of help or company while travelling this place could be a fit. There is a fairly steep staircase so for those who don't do stairs it may not work tho' Melanie is easily reached and is always more than willing to provide support. Breakfast items included in fridge ( can access 24 hrs a day). I paid about approx $155 a night taxes in.

The host mainly. She was very accommodating. The location was OK. A bit out of the way for me. The room was OK. It wasn't particularly inviting.

We spent 11 nights here so I can tell about the whole experience. It was wonderful and I would like to thank Melanie for that! 30 minutes (bus and metro) from the airport. Finch West metro station is in 7 minutes walking, which takes you to downtown in approx 40 minutes, 3.25CAD. This metro ride just feels long, but it isn't uncomfortable at all- it is worth it to spend the money you spared booking this accommodation to enjoy Toronto. The price is extremely affordable compared to anything else. The house is located next to a road but it didn't feel noisy at all. The house has a cosy family sphere and we got a clear welcome tour from Melanie. There is a huge fridge for guests and the host provides some food and drinks to survive if you would arrive home late with no groceries (water, food to have a quick breakfast, instant noodles)- it is a nice touch! The room is clean, the bedding is nice, the aircon is pretty strong. There are 3 rooms- they are all different size but the pictures on the website are true to the facts. I had a smaller room but with a big step-in-closet to hide my luggage and hang clothes. You share the bathroom with 2 other rooms, but it is located on the same floor just in few steps. I didn't experience crazy waiting times for the bathroom, it isn't something not doable but we also had exceptional morning and evening routine so we didn't necessarily meet other guests all the time. To be honest the bathroom would need daily cleaning when used by 3 rooms (up to 6 guests) as the toilet inevitable gets dirty and hair will fall here an there- all in all I think I was lucky with neat guests but of course it will never reach the private bathroom level. It was great that Melanie helped us with our laundry and we also got to use the hand steamer which came in handy as we attended a wedding.

Difficulty in getting the pre-check-in instructions. Had to log in, which required some complicated verification.

It is expensive and no operational kitchen due to covid. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

Location is good

Nothing to relate about the house. Just note that you have to walk 10 minutes to go to the nearest metro station that will lead you downtown in about 30 minutes (or return to the house). It's not a complaint at all, it's just to let you know that you will need to take in count that time travel if you have affairs to do downtown.

Amazing and kind host, available any time for any enquiries. The house, the bedroom and the shared facilities were amazingly clean and the atmosphere was so peaceful and quiet, which was really appreciated after long days walking around Toronto.

We have not observed anything negative!

Undoubtedly it’s been one of the best accommodations we’ve ever been to. From the very first moment, Melanie and Sam made us feel like home and had such a warm approach and even invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with them which was an unforgettable and authentic experience. We literally have never seen such generous and helpful hosts like them. Their energy and attitude were inspiring. All the facilities in the house including the bedroom and bed/mattress are comfortable, looked after and clean. The bathroom was impeccable at all times. We would also like to highlight the little area with coffee machine and snacks available to guests. We would definitely come back if we're ever in Toronto again!

this clearly is a roominghouse. although some rooms might be licensed, I don't believe the whole thing is legal..there are too many people in the house - very intransparent.

not that much.

Everything from the location to the cleanliness of the place to the attractive quiet and the wonderful host, Melanie - it was perfect. A memorable stay indeed. I had no issues whatsoever and most of that credit goes to the awesome person at the house who manages both the guests and her family! Thanks Melanie for such a wonderful stay.

Melanie was very welcoming, explained us everything and even provided some complimentary food (a lot!) that we could help ourselves to free of charge. Also told us the best places to dine during the introduction. The location is also really quiet and lovely. Felt like a vacation at grandma's place in a way. Extremely cozy.
