If you're thinking about staying here for your visit in Toronto, book Angela's home now! My boyfriend and I decided last minute to visit, and we were so lucky to have found this.
Hotel quality accommodations plus the true hospitality of staying with old friends is the best way I can describe Angela and Giuliana's home. From first contact to checking out, Angela was welcoming and made everything incredibly effortless. Though no street parking, she recommend an affordable open lot only two blocks away. (Thanks again for the tip!) Her home was spotless and so comfortable. Access to a beautiful garden patio and light breakfast, coffee and tea were a nice touch.
You get the whole second floor to yourselves including a separate living room & TV, full bathroom with rain shower and separate tub (just renovated and spa quality!), and private bedroom with chaise for lounging, full desk for work, and massive closet space. Wifi provided along with maps and booklet of restaurant recommendations that were very helpful. Linens were superb as were fresh, absorbent towels. Shampoo and soap provided.
My only regret was not being able to stay longer! Angela was so knowledgeable, and offered many recommendations on things to see and do. Located very close to both subway lines (10 min) and minutes to grocery store as well. Angela's home was on a picturesque and quiet, tree-lined street but only a short walk to a more boisterous nightlife scene. Truly the best of both worlds. A must stay again! Thank you, Angela!
