This is quite a good place to stay, for the location and for the space. Bathroom and kitchen are spacious and fully equipped with top quality equipment and fittings. It's not 100% suitable for someone like me who needs the bathroom often in the night, or someone with toddlers or difficulty on stairs. I would have enjoyed the tree-level balcony in warmer weather, but the steep rickety wooden stairs down from it to the parking at the back would be perilous in colder weather. Getting to the parking space without using those steps would mean a walk of several hundred meters, up Lippincott, along Harbord and back down James Hales Lane.

I thought Neil could have done more to make sure I had all I needed. I had to ask him for a bedside lamp, and I found a second pillow myself in a cupboard.

But that's really nitpicking -- as a first AirBnB experience I have no basis of comparison. I would not mind staying there again next time I am in Toronto.
