Claire and Nico's home is located in picturesque Cabbagetown. The area is perfect for young families. Within a 5 minute walk, you will access a Riverdale Farm, a snack/ice cream shop, a free pool, several great parks with splash pads, a large grocery store, and several cute coffee shops. We did not have access to a car, and this home had great access to public transport. On the intersection of River and Gerard you can catch the 506 Carlton street car (which takes you west, and you hit a lot of major sights along the way), or the 121 Bus which is the quickest way to get to St Lawrence Market and Union station.
If you have young children, this house is for you. The house is fully equip to handle small children; with toys, books, baby gear, and even baby proofing! The crib and twin bed was perfect for accommodating my baby and toddler. The house also has access to full sized washing machine and dryer, which was vital to our month long stay.
You can tell that Claire and Nico put a lot of effort into making their house a home, and the finishes and furnishings in this house are all of very high quality. The house was well stocked with cleaning supplies. Expectations should be tempered with regards to the room in the basement - the ceilings are quite low, flooring is uneven, and the window is quite small. The basement is at best partially developed, and a thin curtain separates the room from the utility area.
Overall we had a very good stay at Claire and Nico's. I'd recommend it to any family travelling with young children. They were exceptional with communicating with us, including reminders to take out the appropriate bins for disposal.
