All we can say is ... We "lucked out" by finding this GEM of an apartment! Valerie is as we say "Good people" --clean and down to earth and very considerate of the fact that my hubby and I were staying in Toronto for a family funeral. Valerie's spacious and light-filled apartment was the perfect spot in a trendy area to relax and unwind from the stress and grief associated with funerals. I highly recommend having a morning coffee on the back porch. Or, buy some wine , cheese and olives from the many gourmet shops in the area and enjoy some wine at sunset. There's ample space throughout the apartment to do your own thing, or to snuggle up on the the comfy couch for a nap or to watch a movie.
Valerie was a GREAT host! Very easy to communicate with. As I was traveling with no time to prep, I was worried about traveling with wrinkled clothes. Ah!! I need an iron! With a quick text to Valerie, she provided an iron and ironing board-- I did not even have to open a cupboard. I did not have to fret over anything. Everything was clean, tidy and organized.
Highly recommended to other travelers. We look forward to our NEXT trip!
