This is a lovely place to stay. It is in a fantastic location. It is large and clean and well furnished, with lots of thoughtful attention to detail. The patio with the bbq is beautiful and secluded and is a fantastic place to sit and have breakfast or dinner. The flowers and herbs growing in the garden surrounding the patio are wonderful. Public transport is within 50 yards and the Toronto campus is directly adjacent. There are supermarkets and restaurants within easy walking distance.
We stayed for 2 weeks with two teenagers attending a music camp at the Royal Conservatory of Music on Bloor St. West. It was a 20 minute walk to the school each morning, through the beautiful Toronto campus. We thought the lack of a stove would be a problem, but the availability of the bbq and the microwave (and the availability of a small fridge) meant that we were well able to make meals. The apartment has a lovely washer and dryer which was incredibly helpful for a long stay. The bathroom is small but very well appointed, with a lovely effective shower. The bedroom is very comfortable and the pull out bed in the living room worked very well indeed. There is plenty of space for four people. I worked in the apartment during the day while the children were at the music camp and the availability of a desk and comfortable office chair in the main living area of the house made this extremely easy.
If there is one potential issue it is the fact that the apartment is like an in-law apartment (granny flat) with direct access to the main living quarters of the family on the floor(s) above. During our stay the family were away the majority of the time, apart from one weekend when relatives and friends stayed in the main part of the home. There was no excess noise or anything, but it was clear that others were in the home because of the direct link between the floors and the ability to hear conversation and footsteps.
We sadly did not meet the owners of the property, but they could not have been more helpful when we had questions. They were always available by text and responded within a very short space of time. They offered to let us use their kitchen stove on the floor above as we were there for two weeks, but because of the bbq and the microwave, we did not need to. However, it was an extremely kind offer and one we were most grateful for.
I would not hesitate to recommend this place.
