Darren and Derek were lovely hosts. My boyfriend and I arrived late in the evening on our first night and Darren and Derek were on site to greet us and give us a tour of the apartment. It's well-decorated - clean and minimalist style - and felt bright even if it's a basement suite. The entire place is very comfortable and quite spacious for two people. We really enjoyed the extra touches that made us feel welcome and at home - a basket of snacks, chocolates on the pillows, juice in the fridge, soaps in the bathroom.
The immediate area is very quiet and residential, but just a short walk south (about a block away) is Leslieville and its melange of shops, restaurants and bars.
We loved our weekend there and Darren and Derek were a joy to talk to. We'll definitely be staying again!
