Danny met me when I arrived. He was friendly and helpful. He knew, ahead of time, that I intended to cook all of my meals, offered me his own food processor, as the one in the apartment was not as efficient. He also let me borrow some vanilla extract, which was sweet. There were plenty of pots and pans and kitchen accoutrements. Some were dusty and a bit dirty, probably due to lack of use. But, all in all, it was easy to cook gourmet meals. I even baked bread and shared some with him. The jetted tub was a welcome amenity, and I enjoyed that a whole lot. The apartment was pretty clean (more attention could be paid to certain areas; under the bed, chairs, etc.). There were plenty of extra towels.
The apartment is very conveniently located near a butcher, bulk shop, grocery, produce, conveniece stores, bars, cafés, banks, LCBO, subways, buses, etc.
There was a misunderstanding about checkout. Although Danny originally said I could check out about noon and leave my packed stuff in the apartment, and pick them up a bit later (as I had a very late flight home), when I left food items in the refrigerator, that I had packed and intended to take with me when picking up my luggage, he left a very stern message for me, and when I called to explain he was very biting and angry. I certainly didn't mean any disrespect or to overstep boundaries.
So, in my haste to pick up my things and vacate the premises completely (I rushed right back within 15 minutes of the message), I forgot to drop the key off as I was so flustered. My friend did drop it by later in the day, though.
It's really a pity things ended so roughly. I probably would have liked to stay at Danny's again. It was quite a cute little place in a very nice and quiet neighborhood.
