Marc & his Parkdale pad should rise quickly to 'superhost' status for a few reasons.
1) Marc — embodies when a Canadian ambassador hosts, he is friendly and attentive, communicates and addresses inquiry or issues promptly, and is chill yet also willing to have a conversation with you.
2) location — it's really close to all the cool TO 6iX spots check out Ossington St. for some cool flagship stores, go down Queen St. for cool shops and food, and Dundas' little Portugal is walking distance too.
3) space — bed - has a real bed and comfortable - comes with a variety of pillows and sheet/duvets options, room - cozy and spacious, I did my yoga routine in the morning, bathroom - was clean (no dirt/grime) and tidy (no clutter), charming - what you expect from airbnb are unique accommodation experiences - Marc's place has character showing Canadian memorabilia of hockey and such along with elements of someone well travelled.
That cup of coffee I had in the morning was a surprise and delight along with the water in the bedroom.
For future Toronto trips I would choose to stay with Marc.
