This place is in an older house and, despite some half-hearted attempts at modernization (such as a bathroom that has been half-painted), its age shows. The owner wants a $100 cash cleaning deposit and provides a list of how much she will deduct if your job falls short (for example, $30 withheld for not sweeping the kitchen floor); in spite... More

Horrible place! Extremely dirty, tiny and the fridge is so loud that it makes you wake up in the middle of the night. the bathroom didnt even have a door - just a curtain and i could barely turn around! The gas stove creeped me out since the safety light went off and it suddenly smelled like gas in the... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Shaw street apartment. It was close to everything-in fact walking distance to a wonderful neighborhood full of food and shops. The neighborhood was clean and safte. In addition, Yana was extremely helpful with tips on where to go and even bought a parking pass for us! I recommend that you stay there when in... More

This spot was the perfect fit for us. When my husband and I travel we like to find something with character, that feels like we're home, that's used a bit - making it cozy and quaint. When we arrived there was the smell of incense and music playing, windows open. It was so comforting that we had to take a... More

I've stayed here several times while visiting Toronto. Our hostess Yana, has always been most gracious and helpful. Good accommodations in an excellent location for a reasonable price. Close to downtown, subway/transit and restaurants. Comfortable, quaint rooms were exactly the home base we needed to come back to while doing business or at a weekend event.

My wife and I needed a centrally located place to stay after our return from Peru and from which to look for a new apartment. We decided on Yana’s Shaw Street Guest Suite because of its location and because she kept us informed through emails about potential issues such as the possibility of noise from a newborn baby in the...

This place is a dump, the yard is a health hazard, the owner is impossible. The bed recked my back and the floor sloped so much my I kept rolling out of bed. I booked it to be close to my daughter and because we were here for three weeks to have the ability to do some of our own... More

Hi there- I am completely baffled by this review- this couple's adult daughter came in person to inspect and book this suite and gave a small deposit. At that time, because she needed 2 beds for a snoring father- I told her the fold down couch was rarely slept on and when it was it was used by child- she... More
