Staying at Emil's was an absolute DREAM! The house was easy to find; we parked our car in the driveway and didn't use it until we left three days later. Everything is within walking distance from here! Emil's house is on a mellow residential street but just a couple blocks from all the food, art, shopping, and entertainment you could ever hope for. We came to Toronto not really knowing what we were going to do, and Emil is an absolute wealth of knowledge about the city. He had endless recommendations for everything we were looking for, and gave all the insider tips that make traveling so fun.

The room itself is very spacious, EXTREMELY clean, and amazingly comfortable. We couldn't wait to get home every night just to lay in that bed! It was like sleeping on a cloud. The bathroom and shower are impeccably clean. The view of the garden is serene; it was unfortunately a bit cold for us to spend much time out there, though I did do yoga a couple mornings--there's plenty of space for a few mats! We had as much privacy as we wanted during our stay, often forgetting that we were even in someone else's home.

We cannot recommend staying here highly enough! I can't imagine staying anywhere else if we ever return to Toronto. Emil is an absolute pleasure to be around and we felt truly welcomed by him.
