Stephanie is a wonderful person and her basement apartment is a very comfortable, beautifully renovated, 1 bedroom, walk-out place. I have stayed at many places before but never found a better equipped and so extremly clean place to stay. She has everything from scissors through kettle to espresso machine in the kitchen. The wi-fi worked great too.
The washer and dryer look new and work great. Stephanie pointed out that we were welcome to eat everything that we have found in the apartment. We had free coffee beans for our morning coffees, free milk, fruit, cereal, orange juice and many more food items. She told us that we do not have to walk up to Pape subway station because bus no. 72 ad 72B was just around the corner.
Unfortunatelly she had to leave and we forgot to ask her about the closest supermarket. She did tell us that we can call her anytime however we did not want to bother her. We went around the area and did not see any big food store close by up to our last evening when we went to the BEACHES with bus no. 501. We decided to walk back to our apartment from the bottom of Pape Avenue at Queen St. On our way back we discovered 2 supermarkets (I believe it was called Foodland or Fresco) approx. 10 mins. walking from our place and another one, called NoFrills. McDonalds was next to it.
There was a nice, quiet garden area with a table and four chairs to enjoy our coffees every morning.
I would tell all my friends about this place and hope that I too can return there one day soon.
We were 3 ladies (2 of us visiting from Europe) and we all loved this very, very clean apartment. The area was quiet, close to the bus stop and approx. 15-20 mins walking to Pape subway station. If you walk the opposit direction - after crossing a bridge, you will find the supermarkets.
Thank you Stephanie and Daniel for your warm welcome.
