What a wonderful experience we had staying at this house. It was truly home away from home. Everything was exactly as promised: the house is VERY children friendly with lots of excellent toys and books; the rooms were ready for our stay; the hosts were easy to get in touch with and replied to all our questions. We also fell in love with the neighborhood (and the neighbors - on our last day one of them came to say bye and left us with home made cookies for the road!). The house and the area are very quite, with lots of beautiful parks nearby. The location overall is great, we could get everywhere by a streetcar.
We also loved all the little touches in the house, for example the hosts left a binder with suggested activities and a schedule for farmers' markets - which we visited and enjoyed. They also made a map of the hood - very helpful.
It is not our first experience renting a house as a family but it is the first time that our children enjoyed it that much. Particularly our son could not get enough of playing with the toys, and he stayed up reading in the bunk bed for a very long time. We also loved sitting quietly in the evenings and going through the books collection.
So excellent experience. It surpassed all our expectations. We will definitely try to be back.
