My family stayed in this basement unit for a few nights while visiting Toronto. If one is planning to visit the downtown Toronto area, plan for about a 30-minute commute. It is an ideal location for those who need access to the Toronto airport as it was quite close. Despite the proximity of the airport, the overall environment and neighborhood was quiet. With regards to the host, Lisa is wonderful, very communicative and responsive to our questions and needs. She and Rob have set up the place to be as welcoming and comfortable as it can be, with a personalized message and a separate board with suggestions for restaurants and shopping.
One of the big standouts is the comfortable king sized bed in the bedroom. In addition to separate lights for each side of the bed, one of the nicer touches was a small table with a USB hub to charge phones, etc. The sofa/TV area is comfortable for any TV/movie needs. The sofa doubles as a sofa bed with extra pillows and sheets available; though it is not as comfortable as the bed in the bedroom, it was certainly enough for the kids. The bathroom is a modern one. The kitchen area was perfect for our needs (breakfast and dinner meals). There is a decently sized refrigerator/freezer for leftovers. Another few nice and welcoming touches: Lisa provides options for tea and coffee as well as small snacks.
If we are visiting the area again, Lisa’s place would be absolutely top in our consideration. Even our older child gave a rave review!
