Toronto is a large city and certainly there are a number of lovely places to stay. However I will not be staying anywhere else but at Caroline's unless she has no vacancy. And if she won't let me sleep on her couch. Or under the kitchen table.
At some point in your life perhaps you walked into someone's home and thought "this is what a real home should feel like". Well that's what Carolines home feels like for me. It was spotlessly clean, a little eclectic and completely inviting.
The location is perfect, it's only steps from Bloor St, the ROM, Bay St and more. My bed was as really comfortable and the shower was a great wake up shower. Power!
Communication was super quick and when I got myself mixed up over parking she came right down and got me set up. (Underground parking was really spacious for underground). Caroline puts you at ease at all times and is happy to share her vast knowledge of the city, as well as being an engaging conversationalist.
The breakfast(s) were the equivalent of any restaurant breakfast I have eaten, and would easily cost 30$ at a hotel in the area. Unless you don't like something like a perfect fresh fruit plate and and then breakfast that includes pancakes that taste like clouds filled with blueberries. (while listening to some lovely music I might add.)
I have two trips coming to Toronto in the next two months which I have already pre-booked so I'm not kidding about where to stay. I'm not looking anywhere else!
Caroline thanks so much for having me, looking forward to my return trips!
