My husband and I visited Toronto on a somewhat last minute unplanned birthday trip for 5 days (we live in Fort Lauderdale Beach, United States). Although we don’t always use Airbnb for all of our travels, we have used it for many of our past travels and have only ever had amazing experiences around the world in many different countries booking with Airbnb. Dave was a beyond excellent host, very lovely and kind nice wonderful human. He does make it a point to tell you he won’t be in your way or be a bother but we could not help but connect with him right away and laugh with him and get lost laughing in conversation with him. He greets you with a big and warm smile so that you feel welcomed and safe with him. I had a few questions and communicated with him prior to booking only so that I can be sure about some logistics pertaining to our travels. He was very fast to answer messages on Airbnb or WhatsApp from beginning to end. His communication is very very excellent. Dave is easygoing and quick to accommodate, therefore, we booked with him right away. On the day we arrived, it was early but he was kind enough to offer to take our luggage and belongings to allow us to freely enjoy the city before arriving to his apartment. When we met him we just knew we could trust him with our belongings. His apartment is located in a very excellent prime location neighborhood in downtown (believe me we did our research beforehand). The neighborhood was really safe, my husband and I like to stay out late night and we arrived back at the apartment at 2am many nights and always felt very safe walking around, etc. His building is also very nice and always concierge/security downstairs. The apartment itself is very nice, very new, beautiful decor and very clean (you will see for yourself once you’re there). Dave was really kind and made us coffee twice as we ran into him in the mornings (great coffee!). Dave is so kind he even treated us with a bottle of wine which my husband and I drank one of our late nights still in the mood to laugh and chat before calling it a night. It was fun chatting and laughing with Dave as much as we could before going about our day. My husband and I travel with all of our particular travels and essentials but Dave is very kind enough to offer many toiletries in case you’re a light packer. Such a plus in case I had forgotten to pack anything. He pretty much has anything you’d need during your entire stay. We loved our time in Toronto very much and I’m sure won’t be our only time there. Next time we visit Toronto we will contact Dave and stay with him again! We will recommend to others and Dave can consider us friends and come stay with us at our lovely apartment in Fort Lauderdale Beach too! Airbnb is a win-win when you can suddenly make a friend around the world. Cheers!! Xoxo
