We really enjoyed our stay at this airbnb. Very roomy and much better than 4 people crammed in a hotel room. This place gave the kids their own space- which was great because what teen wants to be with mom and dad 24/7? The response to any inquiries were addressed quickly. The hosts offered ideas of things to do in Toronto. And they were very kind when we found we had lost our keys when out biking for the day.
The hosts provide the fixings for a nice, simple continental breakfast in the morning.
This place had what we needed- space- a simple kitchen set up, and a place to do laundry.
We spent 5 days there and spent most of our days either at the beach or downtown area.
To get downtown (Union Station/Roger Center) on public transport from here can make a long day. We skipped taking the bus and would drive to Coxwell station, park there and take the subway. Even with skipping the bus it took 35-45 minutes - depending on where we were headed that day. (Some of the green Parking areas are very reasonable and for less than $10 we could park all day- just make sure you get a lot with a maximum fee per day!) If you need a meal- Mexico Lindo is a short drive and quite good.
Note for those sensitive to noise: This is a basement apartment and you will hear footsteps/walking and some chatter from upstairs. This did not phase us, but some may be bothered by it, so I thought it worth mentioning.
