Beautiful home, impeccably decorated with so many fun creative flourishes. I want Katie and Philippe to come decorate MY home!! :) The location can't be beat -- within walking distance of all the best Toronto has to offer in terms of cafes, bars, restaurants, parks like Trinity Bellwoods, etc. The kitchen is newly renovated and perfect for cooking for a quiet night in. Katie and Philippe are extraordinary hosts, so responsive and willing to go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. Philippe even insisted on coming by to fix a finicky pull out sofa to make my life easier!
The apartment is decked out with books, houseplants, and cool knick-knacks that really make the place feel like home. Couldn't be more different than other Airbnb's that feel cookie-cutter and sterile, like they jumped out of an Ikea catalogue.
The only downside is old gorgeous Victorian townhouses like this one tend to lack soundproofing... and sound does carry from upstairs and next door. Nothing a good pair of earplugs can't fix, and maybe not a problem at all if you're a heavy sleeper! However, t is worth noting if you're a family with little kids who are fussy sleepers. For everyone else, it's a price well worth paying for the awesome location and beautiful space for such great value. I loved my stay and would go back for sure.
