My girlfriend and I stayed 7 nights in mid July 2017. This was our first AirBNB stay and we couldn't have been more pleased with our hosts KEi and Susan. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and were quite flexible in accommodating our travel and check in/checkout needs. They even arranged a street parking permit for us at no additional cost and had a bottle of wine waiting. The backyard cottage was nicer than we expected. This was, apparently, originally a garage and was converted into a perfect temporary living space. The first thing I must mention is how quiet the location was. We expected a great deal of city noise and were pleasantly surprised by the silence most frequently broken by nature. Birds, squirrels etc. we rarely heard a passing vehicle while indoors. I was nervous about the shower as it was not pictured. Do not worry. The shower is excellent, modern and sophisticated. The design is fantastic, a great blend of industrial and modern put together with an artistic eye. Best of all, it is very comfortable. The furniture is great, the couch was deceivingly comfortable! Natural lighting was very nice, the skylights in the loft area let in a generous amount of sunshine. The quality of towels and linens were very good and added to our overall delight. We saved a good bit over the hotel alternative by utilizing the kitchenette for breakfast and lunches. It has a toaster oven, 4 burner gas range top, deep sink, compact fridge with mini freezer compartment, stove top espresso maker, electric water boiler, and basic utensils, cookware and dishes. The best meal was an egg quiche from scratch that we baked in the toaster oven. Almost directly across the street is a laundromat and a medium grocery store "No Frills". The home is also adjacent to the Toronto street car network on King street. Downtown is walkable but a bit far so the streetcar came in handy. We purchased a weekly pass for unlimited use of all public transit, very useful. Navigating the city was easy and there were many great restaurants to explore. The home is also a short walk to lakeside with a great walking boardwalk and bike path. Bike rental kiosks are close buy and very affordable. The local YMCA is a few miles away and offers free passes for tourists up to 2 weeks with email registration online and ID. Pool, basketball, gym, squash, sauna, whirlpool and more! We would definitely stay here again and recommend this airBNB to anyone. We had nothing really to complain about during the stay. A few things that would have been nicer if better: 1. wifi service is a bit spotty and slow. There is no TV so we were hoping to stream video and had some issues doing so. 2. Kitchen had a few limitations, like no microwave, limited cookware, limited fridge space, lack of ice/ice cubes. 3. The skylights did make it a bit...
