Marc and his Parkdale Pad provided the quintessential AirBNB experience. The location is in a trendy area of Toronto with a plethora of cool restaurants and bars within a stone's throw of the apartment. Beyond that, Marc was simply an amazing host. Due to a late flight, I didn't arrive to Marc's place until almost 1am, and he was there to greet me with a smile and a beer. We hung out and got to know each other a bit, but we were still able to respect one another's personal space and autonomy. Little touches such as the jug of water waiting for me in my room when I arrived made the stay so much more enjoyable. Staying with Marc was like staying with a friend, and I think I can confidently call him such after my stay!
