Where do I even begin to explain just how awesome a place this is and how incredible a host Kim was! There needs to be a new level for super super hosts like Kim!
Our family was relocating to Toronto from California and needed a place for a few months. We found Kim’s place and she responded right away, answering all our questions, making her space available for our stay, and helping us feel that we were in good hands.
The house was quite beautiful, well maintained and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. In some Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at, you get the sense that the hosts furnished the house with their used/hand-me-down stuff. Not Kim’s place. The dinnerware, cookware, etc were all fairly new and quite functional for a long term stay where takeout gets boring and you want to do some cooking.
Cleaning products were easily available throughout the house...which I appreciated since I’m a bit of a clean freak. The cleaning folks that came in before and during our stay did an amazing job cleaning and disinfecting everything. Washer/dryer seems brand new making laundry a breeze.
Whenever we needed something, Kim took care of it right away. On a few occasions, Kim actually anticipated what our family would need and had ordered it for us before we even asked!!! I was blown away.
The house was quite well located for our needs. There is an incredible espresso shop (Black Cat) a short walk away that serves incredible espressos and one of the best breakfast sandwiches in Toronto (the “Old Faithful”). Just beyond that is the Humber river where I went for my daily run. Yorkdale mall is a short distance away (handy for last minute holiday shopping). The highway is easily accessible too.
My family and I are deeply grateful to Kim for helping ease our relocation to Toronto. She’s also set the bar very high for future Airbnb hosts 😂
