Patrisha's home but more so, her company, makes a large city like Toronto all the more welcoming. A friend's travel plans lined up with mine last minute and Patrisha made arrangements to accommodate both of us. After arriving a bit drained, she greeted us with tea and lunch! With great immediacy, you feel like family.
Patrisha's home is warm and enchanting. Her backyard is a quiet refuge from the urban hustle + the bedroom has plently of natural sunlight. The location is supreme! We were able to travel everywhere by foot (short walk to Chinatown / the beach / OCADU / downtown / etc.) Though, very close to bike rental and public transport as well. Provided breakfast is not only vegetarian but vegan friendly (and very tasty). Toronto is a wonderful city, diverse in culture and dotted with green space. But, I can not say my perception of it would be the same had I not stayed with such a thoughtful and friendly host.
