Shorter review - you’ve find your new home, don’t hesitate - do choose it!
Longer review - we stayed here for 4 weeks (including 2 weeks quarantine) after a fairly chaotic and painful move from the other end of the world - difficult in most times, terrifying during Covid!
And we just want to say that coming into this home with its aesthetic, its energy, it’s overall “vibe”... it was like a balm to our soul.
The description is accurate, the pictures are accurate but the experience - that feeling the home gave us - that perhaps can’t be captured well in the listing :) . This home was a peaceful welcoming haven, and we are glad we found it.
Sticking to specifics - tram and bike rental right outside, subway station and huge loblaws supermarket a 4-5 minute walk away, high park an 8-10 minute walk through a lovely neighborhood (or rent the bike). Bandit brewery outside has fantastic beer and food, Mr Ahmad up the road is a very competent Computer fixing guy (trust me if you need this service he feels like god), Starbucks a 3 min walk away - basically everything you need is in a 300 meter radius.
The home - peaceful, clean, some noise from street in living room, TV and soundbar give great sound and image, office area is AWESOME, bed is a bouncy and comfy (loved it), super clean place - very understated clean “design-pop” aesthetic. Lovely gentle quiet balcony with squirrel (and at 2am - raccoon!) action. Good shower, lots of storage. Ceiling fans sufficient for peak summer (except one night!)
Kitchen - awesome coffee machine! Cast iron skillets ftw! Absence of microwave is a FEATURE not a bug - we LOVED using the skillet and oven, it felt so therapeutic, lovely dining table, ample crockery, sweet succulents on the window sill.
There was no Iron, but Kristin is fixing that and that’s LITERALLY the one negative I can think of to keep this review balanced and not into one gigantic gushfest!
The host - lovely, very communicative, helpful.
Kristin thank you for sharing your home with us. It wrote the first few lines in this new chapter of our life and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start!
