We had the absolute best stay at Dave's place!
He and his partner Lara were incredibly accommodating, quick to respond to any questions we had (and quick to come running when we accidentally set off the fire alarm... whoops) and made sure my friend and I had a great Canadian Christmas (our first away from home in Australia). The house itself is fantastic; it's very newly-renovated and is very modern, clean and spacious. The heated concrete floors are the best (especially in winter), the bedrooms are super comfortable, the double shower heads in the shower are absolutely awesome, and the kitchen/living area is very well equipped! The location is great too, it's a short walk up to the end of the street to catch the 501 or 503 streetcars into the downtown area, or an easy 40-60 minute walk into downtown Toronto (depending on how fast you walk). The Beaches are a short walk in the other direction with great trails and beaches, and there's countless cafés, coffee shops and eateries all along Queen Street within a short walk. Bobbette and Belle is just around the corner and has great baked goods and hot chocolate, I'd definitely recommend stopping by! Dave was the absolute best host, and combined with the fantastic house and neighbourhood, really made our stay wonderful.
We had a really great experience overall and I highly, highly recommend staying here!
