Alina and her partner Kevin (who is often around and helps) are lovely, welcoming people, and were exceptionally helpful when it came to figuring out parking and arraigning check-in and check-out logistics. The space is both beautiful and immaculately clean, and Alina's love of art and music lends its self to a calm and refined atmosphere. The home is easy walking distance to Danforth Ave, a bustling center of business that has all kinds of food, shops, salons, studios, entertainment, etc.; the stay I booked was "50 Things to See'n Do in 5 to15 min" , which is likely an understatement. If I ever end up back in the area Alina will be my first pick of hosts for sure.
*Parking warning* For those who are bringing a car, it is extremely important that you be competent at parallel parking, as that is the only way to park anywhere in the neighborhood. Honestly that would be my only concern for anybody looking to stay :)
