Charmaine was off traveling herself when we arrived, but she communicated that to us well in advance and even made arrangements for her friend/colleague to let us in after our late arrival. She and I communicated a few times from the time of booking to our arrival she made getting to her and into the place very easy.

Her place is in what we considered to be the perfect location for visiting the city and just exploring. We were walking distance from many places we wanted to visit (including the St. Lawrence Market, lakeside attractions, and Chinatown and Kensington Market. There are a convenience store and a Tim Horton's on the corners of her block and a market and wine store within two block using the Path.

Her place is cozy, unique and almost exactly as it is described and pictured in her listing. It was incredibly clean and we felt completely at home the entire time we were there. The only very minor issue for my boyfriend - as a light sleeper - was the high windows up above the bed that let in some light throughout the night. I did not have an issue with it at all, but for anyone who might need complete darkness to sleep, bring a sleep mask and you'll be fine. Also, city noise. If you can't handle some city noise, maybe don't sleep downtown. :)
