We booked a room at Markham, Toronto, Ontario. After driving for approximately five hours, we arrived at the specified address and contacted the landlord. To our dismay, he informed us that they were fully booked and only had one room left in the basement. Despite my request to inspect and stay in the basement room, he denied us and forced us to relocate to another address. The alternative property was located at Scarborough, which is known to be a dangerous area in Toronto. With no other available accommodations, we reluctantly accepted the change. The room and the bed sheets were dirty, the driveway was blocked, the front door left open which was not secured, the noise levels were unbearable with fighting, running, and screaming occurring throughout the night. So, my wife was terrified, crying the entire night, and neither of us were able to sleep. I will write an official complaint letter to the Expedia CA’s customer service to address this issue and follow up with them to pay more attention to these kinds of landlords.

The property owner is purposely deceitful. He advertises the the Markham address but he has no rooms available. The actual address is 1 Purcell is Scarborough. Those in Toronto know how unsafe Scarborough could be. I will be writing an official complaint letter to Expedia.

My experience at this Airbnb was extremely disappointing. They promised to keep the door unlocked for us but ended up locking us out without providing a key, and then got mad that we had to knock on the door. The place was filthy with cobwebs and dust in every corner. The bed and pillows were outrageously uncomfortable, we felt the floor was more ideal for sleeping. The shared bathroom was in terrible condition, and the thin walls allowed us to hear other guests snoring as if they were in the same room. To top it off, the owner was incredibly rude. The room itself smelled like a campfire had been lit inside. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

It is a quiet and safe space to spend the night. There are cameras in the common areas so you don't have to worry who enters your room. It is not perfectly clean but considering the price it was a pleasant stay.
