I was in Toronto earlier so had a chance to come by to see the house, to have a walk through and to pick up the key. Vivienne was most welcoming. She has a binder for guests to use with useful information about the house and area. When I arrived there was a bouquet of flowers and everything was clean.

Vivienne was available on email which she answered without 24 hours and her son lives nearby.

The area is quiet and I felt very safe (I was travelling on my own). The house is a duplex and the neighbours were home. The soundproofing is excellent, I only once heard the neighbours in the middle of the afternoon for about an hour. I never heard them any other time in the 15 days I stayed here.

They have a beautiful Jacuzzi bathtub and very large bathroom.

Transit is good - it is two shorts blocks to the Dufferin Street bus which is frequent and takes you to the subway. You can see the
buses from the house.

The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes and cutlery. There's a gas stove which was a bonus. (I love cooking). There were empty shelves in the fridge and cupboard for me to use.

I was working and delighted the internet worked perfectly. There was a large TV in the upstairs den and a good sound system in the kitchen.

I don't live in a city with recycling so wasn't quite sure how to handle the 3 different containers. There was a recycling calendar on the fridge showing what had to be done each week and explaining what goes in each of the 3 garbage bins.

The area has good restaurants, markets, places to buy flowers and is safe to walk anytime. (in fact, Toronto is so safe).

I would happily stay here again.
