My wife and I have stayed at Airbnbs approximately twenty times both in N. America and in Europe and we’ve seldom had a host who cared more about our comfort than Luke who manages the apartment for Sylvia, his sister.
As another reviewer noted, there is a large assortment of toiletry items in the bathroom and soft drinks (and wine) in the kitchen. This might be seen as a small thing, but it was an indication of caring. There were others: There was a small problem with the apartment and Luke was there to address it in a flash. He responded to all our emailed questions instantly and was genuinely concerned that all went well with our stay.
The apartment is a very nicely renovated attic with a modern small kitchen area, a decent-sized sitting room and separate bedroom. The bathroom is good sized and modern with an especially fine large shower. The apartment has two air conditioning units, so even in August it was cool and comfortable. The very large deck off the sitting room is the piece de resistance: Up in the trees, it’s very large and wonderfully well-equipped and furnished.
There are two other apartments apartment is up two flights of stairs. We never heard any noise from their tenants. The parking, private and fenced, is accessed from behind the building.
Berkeley Street is a quiet, tree lined attractive street of older classic late 19c red brick Toronto houses about a mile east of Yonge, a principal north-south street. It’s less than a block from Dundas, a main east-west street with frequent bus service. The neighborhood is polyglot in the way so much of older central Toronto neighborhoods are.
We would stay here again. In a heartbeat. Great thanks to Luke for his caring and hospitality.
