This was an outstanding place for us and our young family during a two week stay.
Let’s start with the home itself. It has two full floors with good size rooms that are tastefully but minimally decorated (ie not cluttered). The main floor has a great living space and tv area along with a spacious, clean and modern kitchen and a great dining area. We made most of our meals in the home and had pretty much all the kitchen items we ever required. Need a cheese grater? Check. Also a small half bathroom on the main floor that is very handy.
Upstairs has 4 huge rooms and two bathrooms, including a room our two young boys loved, with a new and safe bunkbed in it. The baby got his own room. Lots of space. We slept very well in our bed from day 1. Very comfortable at night and zero street noise. The only issue we contended with was some creaky floor boards upstairs - but you quickly learn where to put your feet when you have a small baby that you’re hoping to put to sleep!!
Now the neighborhood. This surpassed our expectations by a lot. First, if you’re worried you are too far away from downtown Toronto, worry not. You are steps away from the street car which whisks you into the St Clair W subway station. The transfer is seamless. Downtown in under 30 minutes every time. Wow. But the neighborhood itself is worth enjoying with coffee shops, restaurants, bars, designer boutiques, private training gyms, cycling studios. You name it. My wife swears the best scone in the city is 200m from the house. And George the super host (more on him below) supplies you with a list of his neighborhood favorites. There is a small park just around the corner perfect for our young boys. And if you are a runner, walker, hiker, there is a much larger Park approx 750m up the street where you can really stretch it out. This is a really ideal location.
About the host George. He’s a super host for a reason. He communicates very well; is always available to help with something in a pinch; solves little issues when they arise; goes the extra mile. He doesn’t interfere with your stay at all, but if you need him, he’s there for you. And get this: he’s a really nice, funny, interesting, dynamic person to boot. Thanks George.
We definitely recommend staying with George at this property.
