Very good home in downtown Toronto. Our family of 4 stayed for a month, and is was luxurious that everyone had their own BEDROOM, the kitchen was big and stocked, and they even had their own PARKING spot under the townhome.
- One example of why Alice was a great host: the pots and pans handles were loose and I couldn’t find a screwdriver that fit. Alice offered to ship new kitchenware immediately, but I felt badly about that and found a way to tighten them enough until she could fix them for the next guests.
- It is SO CLOSE to everything. We never needed to drive except to the suburbs to visit family. We walked to about a dozen different parks and districts, and could shop fresh at the St Lawrence market and the next-door supermarket every morning. Do NOT miss Mystic Muffin for their apple cake and banana bread. You’ll sadly miss it when you leave.
- The house is on one of the rare streets downtown that has FREE parking during the evening (6 pm - 2 am). That was great when friends from the suburbs came to visit us at nearby restaurants.
- Alice makes sure you have everything you need, even for a whole month. More than enough towels, toilet paper, extra sheets and blankets, laundry detergent, etc. etc. The only thing I needed to buy was a $2 plastic milk holder for bags of milk (if you’ve never been to Canada, you won’t know what I mean).
- The only negative would be that the wifi barely reaches the top (third) floor. There’s a desk up there outside the master bedroom that my wife planned to work from, but she had to run computer meetings from my son’s bed on the 2nd floor. I’m not sure Alice even knows yet, and I bet she’d be more than willing to get a more modern router after reading this.
Anyway, thanks Alice!! We had a great time and would definitely come back in the future.
