Mike was a great host - made us feel very welcome and comfortable while still leaving us all the space we needed for a private family stay. The location was great for us -- walking distance to all kinds of shops and a range of good restaurants, close to the subway, close to High Park, easy parking. I thought there would be street noise but it wasn't bad at all, and the walk down basement apartment had good light and ventilation. Beds were comfortable, lots of thoughtful details throughout, and we really appreciated having a washer and dryer too! We would definitely like to stay here again next time we're in town.
