Very friendly. Good place to stay the night. No tv but so busy we did not need one. Easy to get to subway. Close to tim hortons. Air conditioning. Comfy. Like the small fridge. Did not mind sharing a bathroom. Pretty clean

Great

Clean, quiet, located next to Spadina-Bloor subway, I have stayed here a half dozen times. I always get the Queen bed and bath shown in the picture. You don't want to share a bathroom. The staff is friendly and unobtrusive. Highly recommended.

Good value

Room is ridiculously close to Spadina station, so very convenient. Lots of great food in the area. The room was clean and spacious. The blankets had cute animals on them, very stylish.

Downside for some, you can hear the subway passing if you take the basement apartment. I didn't find it to be loud - more like soothing distant ocean waves.

Cheap, clean, cute blankets.

I recently spent a few days/nights in Toronto. Picked Spadina 11 based on location near the subway station. Great choice. Sadly, I didn't use any of the other amenities, other than the room with a private toilet. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable.  The location was very convenient to the subway and to the metro system (which I also didn't use).

Very Convenient

The location was ideal for getting around downtown, or anywhere in Toronto since the bnb is located right next to the subway station.  The hosts were nice and the room was clean (and quiet).  I'd definitely recommend this unless you want to spend a lot of $ at a hotel (for some reason).

Great place to stay

I travelled to Toronto for a conference and stayed with Spadina 11 from June 5th until June 9th and really enjoyed my stay. 

Getting to the residence from Union Station was super easy (subway, and trams got you there in about 20minutes) and really alleviated the anxiety I have with travel. It also was really easy to get to the Yonge Street area where my conference was, in about 20min.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially when I asked questions about getting around the city and local food options. The room was perfect! I booked a room with a private bathroom and it was located on the main floor of the building. The only downside to this was the traffic going past to the kitchen, but if you are used to apartment traffic this should be no issue. The Kitchen has hours of 7:30am to 10pm to help keep the building super quiet - which is lovely! It is something to be aware of if you need to leave before or arrive back at the residence after these times. I also really liked that you were asked to remove your shoes upon entrance and take a pair of slippers. This helped to contribute to the really clean feeling of the building and room.

Like others have mentioned, it is super close to the subway, which is perfect for when you are travelling throughout the city, but it is also quite noisy. If you are used to city noise such as large trucks, or regular trains going through towns you should be ok - I personally also wear earplugs and had no issue sleeping. Note: there is a pub/bar behind the building and it can get quite noisy but shutting the window was a great solution.

I would definitely stay here again as it felt more personable than a hotel but higher up than a hostel. I will admit bragging about the place when I was at the conference!

Perfect Location and Setting

+ super staff very communicative for all the stay
+ nice rooms with very reasonable dimensions (almost big)
+ strategic position, 10 meters from the TTC station
- - pots and pans in the common area need to be renewed!!

very good!

I chose the basement room because it had a private bathroom for only a few dollars more a day.  Below is my review.

Pros:
Location and price-unless your looking to stay in the middle of downtown, you can't beat the location and price.  The house is right next to the subway/streetcar station.  There is a 7-11 across the street, a grocery store the next street over, and many restaurants within 3 blocks.  It is about a 5 minute walk to the Royal Ontario Museum and the University of Toronto.  It is about a 10 minute walk to the high end shopping district.  My 3 night stay was $287 Canadian (after taxes/fees).  Can't beat it.'

Free Wifi-while there is free wifi, there is no TV in the room.  As I detest TV, that is fine by me, but some may not like that.  

Room-everything worked and the shower was huge.  Room was super clean when I arrived.

Easy and fast check in-word of warning though; if you check in after 9pm, they charge an extra $15 dollars for every hour you checked in after 9pm.

Easy check out-just leave the keys on the desk in your room and walk out!

Cons
Noise-several problems with this.  First, while being next to the station is a plus, it is also a negative.  You will hear the subway/streetcar passing by every time.  While it is not super loud, if your a light sleeper, you may have some problems.  Second, you will hear the people walking above you.  My room was directly below the kitchen, so get use to hearing people doing the dishes.  

Cold floor-I had the heaters (there are 2 in the room and 1 in the bathroom) blasting, the floor remained cold.  It maybe the fact that I was in the basement and the temp was in the high 40s, that floor was cold.  The room itself was fine though.  Better bring some warm slippers!

Short bed-I am 6'1'', so my feet were hitting the rail at the end of the bed.  If your 5'11' or shorter', you should be fine though.  Excluding that, bed was comfortable.  

Overall I would recommend it.  For the price you pay, you can't beat it.  However, for light sleepers and tall people, consider the negatives.

While I liked it (with a few exceptions), it might not be for everyone.

I was travelling to TO for work and Spadina 11 had good reviews and was very close to where I was working for the weekend.  First night was unbearably hot as I thought it was going to have AC. I emailed them and they quickly installed an AC in our room.  Shared bathroom and kitchen was not my cup of tea, but it was fine.  I only bumped into one other person renting a room while I was there and he seemed friendly.  If you want hotel quality this is not the place. If you want a convenient, affordable, and home-like stay this is the place.  Thanks for being so accommodating for me and my son while we stayed there.

Convenient and affordable

Booked the basement room with twin beds. Very sparse but comfortable. Had microwave, frig and decent water pressure in the shower. Booked for only one night by calling directly. Very informal atmosphere. Close to lots of restaurants in an active area of town. Can hear the subway in this room.
