Usually we start a review by stating that the space was exactly as pictured. In this case, it would be more accurate to say that the space has even more visual impact when you are in it than just looking at its pictures. Andrew's eye for design and decor is impressive. This is the 12th airbnb that we have stayed in and it is definitely our favourite. And not just because it is a snappy looking place. The neighbourhood is charming and public transport is just steps away. Andrew has taken great care to provide numerous amenities, including breakfast food and an extremely well-appointed kitchen with any utensils or cookware needed to make a meal. There was even a vase of flowers to welcome us.
This was the first time that we have stayed in a basement suite. I did have some hesitations when booking it, especially regarding noise from upstairs but this was absolutely not an issue at Andrew's. We also quickly discovered a couple of perks to staying in the basement: it's nice and cool and quite dark in the morning. One day, we had decided to have a sleep in and didn't awaken until noon!
We HIGHLY recommend staying at Andrew's. For us, being there really enhanced our visit to Toronto.
