Eric's place was quiet, cosy, and exceeded our expectations. The apartment is honestly everything I'd want in a place in this lovely area. The open concept really makes the place feel larger than it is, and the bedroom is private. The whole place stayed very warm throughout these crazy temperatures, and it comes equipped with all the needs of winter; lots of coffee, tea, & toilet paper. They even had pasta & sauce for our use in the cupboards. There is a Brita filter in the fridge and he encourages composting! This place is great for anyone looking for an environmentally conscientious stay as well as a high end feel!
At the end of the apartment there is a great little back porch that steps out to gazebo-style tent with a bench table that could easily seat 4-6 people if you needed it. The backyard also opens up to the parking spots (huge plus in this part of town) so it was easy to get our stuff inside. One thing I will mention is that the two spots there are a bit tight. We have a smaller car, but if you have an suv or a truck, and the other car there is also one, it's not going to fit. There is still parking near by, so it's really not a huge deal. Although this didn't impact our stay personally, i thought i'd let anyone know in advance just incase you have a larger car. I wouldn't want the space to ruin the amazing feel this apartment has!
It is also in a great area, near to ttc & many shops. We spent $10 to uber to Rebel for my boyfriend's birthday, so even to get into the party areas of town its super cheap.
Eric himself was extremely friendly and personable. He was very prompt with responses, and although nothing was amiss during our stay, im sure if there was he'd be there in a minute! He was very accomidating about check in/out times, and I would stay here again anytime!
