Though we didn't actually meet our host, Patrick, his email messages were very warm and welcoming. His colleague, Janet, met us upon arrival and she was very nice. Janet showed us around the apartment which was lovely and very clean. The pictures are very accurate. It was also quiet which was great, especially considering there are two young boys living upstairs. The neighbourhood is very pretty and safe and there are a lot of conveniences within walking distance. Parking was available on the street with the parking pass provided by Janet. It was the little touches that really made this stay special....there were bread, fruit, juices, some canned goods, fresh coffee and a few other food items provided. There was also a bathrobe and comfy, absorbent towels. Soap, shampoo, conditioner...all in the bathroom. As we go to Toronto to visit family a few times a year, we definitely plan on returning to Patrick's apartment. We can only hope that it will be available when we'd like it as it's quite popular... As it should be!
