We just stayed at Katie and Philippes house (Jun 2017) with 3 adults and 2 kids(aged11 and 10), this was our first visit to Toronto.
Firstly Katie and Philippe were brilliant hosts, they were incredibly welcoming, always available and nothing was too much bother. We arrived to some provisions in the fridge and a bottle of wine which was a lovely gesture. During our stay they were very proactive in helping us with getting around Toronto and knowing what was going on.
The house was really nice, it was well proportioned and clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the linen was clean and good quality. The kitchen was well equipped. There is a back yard (with bbq) which was nice to sit out in and have a cup of tea.
The location was great for us, plenty of cafes and restaurants at the end of the street and a supermarket close by. Walking in the other direction you get to Dandas st West where it is a short streetcar ride into town. We even walked it one day which was interesting even if it took some time. Around the area is Little Portugal, Little Italy, Korea town, China town etc all within walking distance with all the different restaurants. The immediate area and street was very quiet so there were no issues sleeping at night.
I would recommend the house and we would definitely stay here again if we come back to Toronto.
