Wies made us feel very welcome from the minute we booked our stay. He sent us very clear and detailed information regarding directions, access to the apartment, parking. laundry, etc. We especially appreciated his very thoughtful information about the neighborhood. The apartment is in the basement of a 3 unit home, but was very quiet and private and is on a lovely residential street. The apartment was perfect for our one week stay visiting our children in Toronto, and was just as pictured. It is a complete 2 bedroom apartment with a full and very functional kitchen and separate living area with a great television with cable. It was very clean and cozy and well appointed and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Speaking of the area, we were in love with the neighborhood. There are markets, cafes, restaurants within steps of the house. There is a huge Loblaw's grocery store and a liquor store within a short walk. The High Park Roncessvalles area is charming and filled with interesting shops, restaurants and ethnic food stores. Gorgeous High Park makes for a lovely walk. We had a car and appreciated the great parking behind the house. We didn't need to use public transportation, but the streetcar is very convenient to the house. Wies was very responsive by email and phone and we could not have asked for a better host. His home is truly lovely.
