We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful accommodation. Victoria was extremely helpful from our first communication with her, right through to our departure.
The house is very attractive, both inside and out, and it is set in a nice area with many attractive buildings and local amenities. It is easy to get around by streetcar (tram to us), bus, and subway train. We were able to access the downtown area within 20-25 minutes or so.
When we arrived, Victoria was there to greet us and show us around. The fridge and kitchen cupboards were well stocked with both practical food and treats - we really appreciated this. We used the TV, which had Netflix and a good range of channels, and we (especially the children) also made good use of the WiFi!
The sleeping area and bathroom are in the basement. There is a separate bedroom with a double bed, and twin beds in an open area which can be divided off with a curtain. This works well for families. The bathroom is small but modern, tasteful and very clean. Great shower! Stairs to the basement are wooden and might be a little precarious if you have smaller children, but were fine for us.
We were in Toronto for a relatively short time, but managed to fit in quite a lot, including visits to Toronto Islands, CN Tower, the Distillery District and Niagara Falls. We also enjoyed the Cabbagetown area’s Victorian Streets and had a couple of beers in the sunny back yard of a nearby pub - the House on Parliament, where the staff were very friendly. We can thoroughly recommend Victoria’s house as a base for this type of visit.
On our departure day, Victoria kindly agreed to look after our luggage until it was time to go to the airport. This was another nice touch which saved us time, money and inconvenience.
All in all, a great stay in a great place.
