This was one of the best places that I stayed in Toronto.
Grant's place was clean, practical, quiet, and thoughtfully equipped for travelers. Grant was thoughtful, communicative, and kind. His place is located in the beautiful beaches area (Queen street East).
His home in an area that feels like a cozy neighborhood while also boasting tons of interesting and independently owned restaurants, bars, art shops, cafes, and - of course - the boardwalk by the beach where you can walk/run/bike. Staying here was both peaceful and quiet while also enabling me to visit all these places on foot, just minutes away. The street car (501) that runs on Queen street, within two minutes of walk from Grant's home, takes you to downtown Toronto within ~25 minutes (and the streetcar ride itself is a good way to see interesting neighborhoods on the way to downtown).
Previously, I've stayed in hotels and airbnbs in downtown. But those places didn't give me the feeling of living in Toronto (and I grew up here). At Grant's place, you can experience one of the best neighborhoods in Toronto while also having a ready access to everything that downtown offers. Some of the restaurants in the beaches area are really much better - in terms of taste and price-wise - than many of the restaurants and bars in downtown Toronto. All of these are within minutes of walking distance from Grant's home. So I very much appreciated going to dinner and then walking back in a cozy neighborhood without having to take uber back.
I'd definitely would like to stay here again.
