I can’t write enough good things about Robert and his charming place in Cabbagetown. I originally booked a stay in April, but when Toronto increased their COVID lockdown restrictions, I got nervous about coming to the city. Robert was more than accommodating; he offered me an excellent price and even moved my trip to a future date! I booked a weekend in June when I figured restrictions would be more relaxed and I got lucky because they lifted literally the day before my trip. Check in was a breeze and Robert even accommodated an early check in. The automated lock makes it easy to enter and leave. While I didn’t meet Robert in person, he checked in on me via Airbnb and was always quick to respond to my messages. The staircase leading down to the apartment is very tiny, so pack small bags. The space itself is airy and well lit, despite being a basement. There isn’t much natural light, but there are plenty of high hats to make it feel light. The entire space was super clean and very comfortable, including the bed and couch. Be patient with the hot water, this is a home from the 1800s after all! There was a parking space for my car and the Backyard is absolutely darling and perfect for a morning cup of coffee. The neighborhood is so charming, I got a delicious breakfast sandwich from Epicure and a VERY affordable mocha latte from Jetfuel 2 minutes away. I can’t wait to come back to Toronto and to stay with Robert again in the future. If you have a chance, definitely stay here.
