Milan was a very good host. We arrived late and only stayed one night, so didn’t get to meet her in person, but Milan was accessible and responded promptly to our messages. We could tell that she loves her neighborhood and knows it well. The basement apartment was sparkling clean and featured some nice touches, such as a parking spot in the driveway; a printed guide to the city and neighborhood; tea, coffee, sugar and creamer; washer and dryer (which we didn’t use, but would be quite handy for a longer stay); and plenty of closet/storage space. Guests are asked not to wear shoes in the apartment - a custom we were happy to respect and which I’m sure helps to keep the place so clean - and Milan thoughtfully provided us each with a pair of rubber sandals that kept our feet comfortable on the stone-tile floor and were perfect for shower slippers. I’m still trying to figure out how she got our sizes perfectly right! The neighborhood is quiet and very close to some great shops, cafes, and restaurants. It is also close to public transit and the beaches along the lake. It’s about 25 to 30 minutes from downtown Toronto by bus or car.
