Patrick's home was absolutely amazing! We were so grateful every day of our family vacation that we chose his home to stay in. It is roomy and beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. Comfortable beds with nice sheets. Lots of towels and a fully stocked kitchen. Hundreds of books to look through, and interesting art to admire made downtime fun. It was great to have lots of space for spreading out and relaxing between outings. The giant jacuzzi tub was amazing! It was chilly when we were there, but we still appreciated the amazing view of the city from the fabulous roof top deck. We all had to go out every night to see, and photograph the CN tower, as it is lit up differently every night. We loved the two fireplaces and gas wood stove. The location was wonderful, too. It was very easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. We used the street cars and subways and never drove our car once. Kensington market was such a fun neighborhood. We saw many of the classic tourist sights in Toronto, but our favorite times were spent strolling around Patrick's neighborhood sampling all the great eats and shopping in the fun, quirky stores. Chinatown is right around the corner, and we truly enjoyed this area as well. We never once felt unsafe. The square the house sits on is being redone, and I'm sure will be beautiful when finished. It looks like a nice play ground is being installed. Another plus to this location is how surprisingly quiet it is, for being right in the city! It is a four level single family home, which means no one above or below! Patrick was an amazing host and answered all of our questions promptly. He provided lots of information tailored to our interests, which, I must admit, involved food for us most of the time! He has lived in Toronto for a long time, and is a wealth of information. We were thrilled that we got to spend some time getting to know him, and will always treasure our time together. I am sure he is always an impeccable host, and would be happy to check in on his guests, or give them all the privacy they wanted. We felt comfortable and at home from the minute we stepped through the front door, to the minute we left. If we return again, I hope we can stay here, possibly in the summer to enjoy the rooftop deck and cute backyard. The stairs in the house would not work well with young children, but Patrick explains that very well in his description. We loved it, however, and felt truly lucky that Patrick shared his lovely, interesting, one-of-a-kind home with us!
