Simonne /Russ’ place is cozy and clean with all kitchen amenities. The king bed was comfy with lots of pillows. We were able to watch our favorite shows on TV. There was a little corner for kids and a small work station if you want to use your laptop. The paid (Canada $1.50 per load) washer and dryer outside the door were extremely convenient. I travelled with 2 other active seniors so the narrows stairs are doable for us – besides, Russ (host) was very kind enough to help us with our luggage. Seniors with mobility issues might have a tough time navigating the stairs.
The location is great. It’s few minutes ride to Dundas St. where you will find quaint shops and restaurants. There is a great Mexican restaurant and a Vietnamese one (Pho VP) off of Jane St. which is very walkable. One block away is St. James Church were we attended mass.
Both Simonne and Russ are excellent communicators and very helpful hosts. Since I am technically challenged, Simonne went above and beyond her hosting responsibility by helping set up my Uber App. Wonderful folks. I would definitely stay there again.
