Stop searching and book now! SuperHost JetSetterJason Approved! Karen's lovely apartment sets the bar extremely high here. That's the best way to describe my stay at her home.
The pictures are exactly as advertised. The basement apartment is cozy yet feels spacious and has lots of closet and storage space. Late night/early morning self check-in/out was seamless and Karen resides in the home upstairs and is responsive in case you need her. She is friendly and personable and made me feel very welcome. The home is easy to find located on a main road, but the living quarters are quiet and feel very private.
As a SuperHost, I am very familiar hosting and traveling Airbnb, and I can be a tough critic. Karen managed to meet, and exceed my expectations. I even left with a few tips to improve my listing!
The kitchen is fully equipped and Karen left a glass bottle of water in the fridge. Nice touch. The WiFi was my best friend, it was easy to log into and no service interruption.
Fluffy fresh towels smelled clean and of a detergent I couldn't identify - but fluffy, fresh and clean are the important words here! Soap, shampoo and conditioner are also waiting for you in the sleek, eclectic bathroom.
The neighborhood feels very residential, friendly, and is close to public transportation, bus and subway metro. Nice small restaurants within walking distance and only 15 minutes from downtown Toronto by car/taxi. Perfect location for a good balanced stay.
Overall, her home is beautifully kept and I felt comfortable right away. The entire apartment is clean and feels purposeful. Karen leaves no stone untouched. I was very impressed and recommend you stay here when visiting Toronto.
