This was a fantastic first-time airbnb experience for me. The suite was exactly as pictured - a bright garden level room with ensuite shower and a big bed. The suite was clean and comfortable and exactly what I needed for my five-day weekend. The location is prime too. Although there were appliances for making coffee and a toaster oven to heat up your pastry, I opted to walk the short two blocks to the corner of King for coffee every morning. The restaurant just down the block also does an amazing weekend brunch if you can get a table. At first I was concerned that being on an intersection would mean noisy, but it was quiet especially after dark. At night, lights from the garden provided a calming glow through the patio doors.

Emil made me feel very welcome right off the hop. He's a great guy, outgoing, fun, witty, easy to chat with, and he respects your time and privacy. His communication was top-notch. He even left some lovely Italian cookies from a neighborhood bakery for me one morning. They were delicious! I also liked that the residence has a keypad lock, so no messing about with or losing the keys. It's the perfect setup for guests.

My only disappointment was that I couldn't stay longer. I look forward to the next time I can stay there. Cheers Emil!
