We had such a lovely time here! Kate was so welcoming and responsive -- favorite host ever. We felt at home immediately, and she was a great resource for our first time in Toronto.
The beautiful old building is a bit of a work in progress as Kate refurbishes, but the unit is very thoughtfully arranged and supplied. It's truly a refreshing, peaceful vibe.
The one thing I'd mention is that, as with many old buildings, there are some narrow doorways, and the staircase leading up to the unit is quite narrow as well. And the shower is small (but SO nice! ah, the water pressure!). None of this took away from our experience at all, but it's just something to keep in mind if you're larger. The overall feel of the unit is NOT cramped -- high ceilings, decoration simple but with character, lovely windows looking out onto leafy streets, etc.
The neighborhood is also wonderful. There are tons of shops, cafes, restaurants within walking distance, and you really get a feel for the residential experience of the area. We spent a lot of time walking around exploring. Really can't say enough good things about our time here. We loved it. Thank you, Kate!
