Geoff and Christine graciously welcomed us on arrival. Geoff showed us around the apartment on the third floor of their wonderful house, which was even more charming than the the photos and descriptions had indicated. The space is bright, roomy, cosy, simply and tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen and bathroom are as well equipped as our own home (the walk-in shower is wonderful). We knew the neighbourhood would be lovely as we lived three streets away for many years, but a long time ago. Roncesvalles, 1/2 block away, is a lively, trendy and family oriented street with lots of restaurants, fruit and veg shops, bakeries, pubs and boutiques. Beautiful High Park is a few blocks away. Public transportation to downtown Toronto is quite easy but walking into the city core along Dundas, Queen (as we did) or King Streets is much more fun and interesting. We loved staying at Geoff and Christine's apartment, love the Parkdate/High Park neighbourhood, were reluctant to leave, and will definitely stay again the next time we are in Toronto.

One of the previous renters said that this was the best airbnb she had stayed in. We would agree with her.
