We had a wonderful stay!
Getting in touch with Katie was a breeze - she was quick with responses, very understanding, polite and easy going overall.
She did let us stay an extra day at no extra cost - truly appreciate the kind gesture.
The place is ~40 mins away from YYZ and costs ~$CAD 50 (incl tip) in a flat rate taxi from the airport.
The place is excellent for two people - a comfy bed, closet with hangers, full kitchen, living room with TV & couch, washer-dryer and bathroom. What more could you ask for?
Also, the apartment is quiet - I mean really quiet. No noises.
The location is great - everything within a few mins! There's two streetcar stops & a few bus stops within short walking distance. All with the Night Owl service. The St-Claire West subway station is a short streetcar ride away - this will take you anywhere you want in the city!
The food and beverage scene on St. Claire West was superb. Many restaurants, coffee places, bakeries and bars around. Katie has a great list of suggestions - we tried a few out and liked it.
Groceries: There's a NO Frills within walking distance; Metro, LCBO, Beer Store a short streetcar ride away; Walmart, FreshCo a short bus ride away and a bunch of local independent grocery & convenient stores. You're spoilt for choice actually.
We never felt unsafe in the area even when we came in pretty late at night.
As always with AirBnB, treat this place as your own home - with respect and care.
Highly recommend Katie's Place - you'll have a great stay for sure!
Best Regards,
