Overall we had a great stay! The room itself is very comfortable and was perfect for us.
First off, in terms of location Burkhard's place is great. This area of Toronto is a delight at any time of year.
Secondly, the common spaces we shared with Burkhard and his family are very welcoming, accessible and feels very cozy. The comfort of the bedroom and privacy of the bathroom was also excellent.
Thirdly, we really appreciated his eye for interior decoration - everywhere you look there's interesting art as well as many great books should you need literary leisure time.
Finally we also appreciated the small touches including the extra necessities in the shower, extra towels if we needed it and the recycling/composting options in the kitchen.
