It was my first time using Airbnb and I booked the Lane House for about 14 days. I purposely booked this place for my wife's Japanese family because I want them to experience what it is like to live in Toronto.
Cleaniness 5 stars! Bathroom, kitchen, digital TV, WiFi, interior decor, bedding, and furniture are all well maintained. LCBO (alcohol store), Kensington market, Chinatown, supermarket, Starbucks, Laundromat, bars, and great Italian food are all walking distances.
The moment we walked into the space, we felt a sense of warmth and care from Cher the host. She got us snacks, flowers, and towels ready for use. She even prepared a binder that summarizes what is in and surrounding the lanehouse. Cher was responsive by mobile/ emails and her attention to detail was just exceptional. In fact, I live locally and I could tell that Cher's family gives positive vibe. Very open minded and always carry big smiles.
My advice is to always ask Cher before doing anything to her space. Prior to my booking, I asked kindly if we can use the Lane House as the first location for my wedding day and she accepted with utmost generosity. Thank you Cher!
Definitely would recommend to new guests who want to explore the city by foot.
