Jerome & Vi were delightful hosts. It's hard to find people that are SO nice and always making sure that you don't need anything. They respond right away to messages and were kind enough to provide a playpen, umbrellas and even had a lot of water bottles in the fridge! What a thoughtful attention.
They are located in a wonderful neighbourhood and about 7 min away from the Royal York station. There is also a Shoppers so that's extremely convenient + tons of restaurants. Also, if you want to order food, you have a ton of options.
As mentioned before, the place is dated and would need a good refresh (especially the bathroom). The decor is indeed very eclectic with LOTS of personal items (including photos of the family) that are not being shown on the listing's photos. I feel like the owners should really use photos that do reflect how the place looks like. The photos make it look like it's only used for Airbnb hosts when in reality, it's pretty clear that a family lives here. (They were in the basement) So it makes you feel like you are visiting friends vs staying at an Airbnb. The rooms are pretty cluttered for example when the photos make it sound like you have a lot of space.
We still had a great time but definitely things that owners should work on.
