Staying at Sam's was great and easy. Both him and his housemate are funny and helpful. Their place is clean and homey, has a lovely backyard area and is indeed quite spacious. Parkdale is one of the nicest residential parts of town at the same time full of quirky, colorful shops, cafes and restaurants all the way along Queen and Dundas. Sam's house is minutes away from the streetcar and buses, which will take you downtown in mere 20 min. If I was ever to stay at an Airbnb in Toronto again I'd choose this place without any hesitation!
