I loved staying at Super Host Hyla's Harbord loft. It was a perfect home away from home while visiting Toronto for four days.
The unit itself is full of air and light. The ceilings are way high, and the living area's ceiling fan is a nice tough. I was in Toronto during an autumn heatwave, and it was so nice to come back to such a comfortable apartment after each excursion.
The place is super clean, and has everything a traveler needs for a short stay or for a longer stay, including a modern washer and dryer.
This airbnb unit is in a neighborhood where I would personally choose to live. A really nice, quiet place to live, but with so many options of things to do. I could have spent all four days just in the surrounding area. Right downstairs is the famous and original location of Sam James Coffee Bar. Hyla has a Nespresso machine available for guests, but I visited Sam James every chance I got.
There are wonderful restaurants east on Harbord St. and even more places to explore one long block north on Bloor St. and one long block south on College St. I wish Civil Liberties was my local bar; they make seriously delicious cocktails in a relaxed space.
There were so many places I wanted to see on College St., I didn't even have a chance to go to Kensington Market. Next trip. I will certainly stay again at this location or at another of Hyla's places next time.
