Ruth is a friendly, accommodating, helpful and intelligent host. Staying in her home was a positive experience. Too many examples to write all but a couple are:

She made coffee for me each morning.
She lent me her bicycling map which I used each day and found helpful.

A couple of things that were not a problem for me but might be for some guests are:

The 2nd bedroom (which I used) is small. (Ruth informs prospective guest about this.)
The bathroom situ is unusual. The bathroom on the 2nd floor where the bedrooms are has a functional sink. The toilet is only for urine. The bathroom in the finished basement 2 floors below where the bedrooms are is fully functional. It has a shower stall, small sink and fully functional toilet.

I enjoyed my stay and would stay with Ruth again if I’m in Toronto.
