Location:
Very short walk from Bathurst station with a plethora of places to eat and drink and stores to shop at within the vicinity. The area has a hipster vibe with record shops, second-hand book stores, and antique wares being sold mere metres away. Although centrally located the nights are quiet and peaceful.
Interior:
What a beautiful home! It's just as pictured. The decor is clean and natural, home-y yet not cluttered. You can definitely see that this space is well loved! Beautiful lighting fixtures are to be found in every corner along with a few vintage pieces, all tied together to form an eclectic and artistic atmosphere! One disclaimer is that the ceiling is sloped in some areas due to the bnb being an attic apartment, so it would be good to watch your head if you're especially tall.
Interaction/communication:
Martyna and Brayden, unfortunately, weren't able to greet us in person but they gave us all the instructions in advance for a smooth and comfortable stay. Upon arrival we found a binder on the kitchen countertop with crucial information (like the wifi password), instructions, and a list of recommendations on things to eat and do in the neighbourhood. The couple even left us a thoughtful and much-appreciated bowl of Ferrero Rocher along with a cute welcome note. Needless to say, we devoured the Ferrero Rocher. Martyna also let us know that we were free to drink any of the teas in the cupboard and boy was there quite a selection. A++ on friendliness, communication, and hospitality!
All in all, staying at Martyna and Brayden's place was wonderful! The only thing we regret is that we didn't get to stay longer in this ambient apartment placed in one of the hippest areas of Toronto.
