I've had many stays in Airbnbs and other lodging, but none like this. Nestled atop the Scarborough Bluffs, in a quiet and scenic Toronto suburb, lies Mikael's charming house. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you'll get; a cool pool, a hot (or cold, if you wish) bath, all the kitchen utilities you could ever want, a super comfortable bed, the works.
What you won't see in them however, is the seldom found kindness and thoughtfulness of Mikael and his family. He was always attentive to any questions or things I needed at any time of the day, and gave some great recommendations on things to see around the bluffs and in the city in general. During my stay, we all had a good talk over tea and fruit in the living room (which is its own carefully cultivated history museum), sharing stories of our travels, politics, and about life in general. They're very easy to talk to, and more than likely you'll leave having made new friends; I know I did!
If you're looking for a quiet stay, with a good dose of nature and kind-hearted people, then book yourself a stay here!
Note also, while having a car may be best for a stay here, public transportation is also doable and available late into the night (around 2 am); I personally used the TTC/GO Transit to and from the house. It's a ~20 min walk (from Kingston Road to the house, there's a part of the walk that's downhill) from the closest buses on Eglinton Av or Kingston Road, from which you can take to/from GO Transit's Lakeshore East Line (at Eglinton Station or Scarborough Station), or Kennedy Station for TTC's Bloor-Danforth Line; both trains will take you to downtown Toronto, and other popular parts of the city.
