Roel's place was lovely - cozy and clean with an extremely comfortable bed and lovely balcony off of the bedroom. Communication was great and check-in was a breeze. Roel was kind enough to arrange street parking for us, and we snagged a spot right in front of the house. The bathroom was stocked with plush towels and shower toiletries, and Roel thoughtfully put out some bottled water, fruit, coffee, tea, and milk. The house is a hop and a skip from the beach, and an easy Queen streetcar if you're heading downtown (we walked to the AGO in an hour). We don't have kids, but there was a baby gate, playpen, and some children's toys, if you're travelling with a wee one. It wasn't an issue for us, but note that the apartment is up a flight of stairs, if anyone has mobility issues. We would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a Beaches getaway!
