Cara was brilliant from the outset - right from answering my queries pre-booking to all the way through. She sent me detailed directions on how to get to her place and made sure she stuck around till I got there (even though I was running late!). She's very welcoming and a lot of fun - showed me a few places around the neighbourhood, and made sure I was comfortable. Kept in touch throughout - in case I needed anything! :)

The place is clean and really cosy - has a very homely feel to it. I had a double room, which was nice and comfortable. I was working remotely one of the days, so really appreciated the wifi and the kitchen/living space to work.

I loved the neighbourhood - its really quirky and has personality! Its lively and there area lots of cute places to eat and explore. Public transport is close by and its very easy to get to places from here (and to here from the airport). It felt pretty safe - though I was back by midnight throughout my stay.

All in all, a really great experience - I'd highly recommend Cara as a host and her place, and will definitely be returning on my next visit to Toronto!
