My husband and I spent a few days at Jocelyn's cute apartment as we were in Toronto to attend a friend's wedding. Overall it was a fantastic experience! The apartment is located in a cute house in the Dufferin Grove neighborhood. There is a grocery store literally across the street and so is the bus stop. The famous Kensington Market is just few blocks away and so are the hip and happening places all around. The night life around there is fantastic.
The one thing I would note is that this apartment is quite far from the touristy attractions downtown. CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium and the Entertainment District are quite far and are better commuted to via the bus. We actually wound up taking a lot of Lyfts and Ubers and busses to get to and from.
The apartment itself is wonderful and just as appears in pictures. Jocelyn was so thoughtful to stock the fridge with some chilled water bottles and had coffee, coffee filters and a coffee machine in the kitchen. There were also plenty of clean towels and the bathroom was stocked with an assortment of shampoos, conditioners and even a hair dryer!
The bed was very comfortable and even came with a tempurapedic pillow!
The one thing I would note that in the heat wave that passed through wduring our stay here, the apartment got very very hot and the AC was not effective in breaking the heat. We spent that night bathed in sweat and pretty uncomfortable.
Other than that, it was a fantastic experience overall. Joceyln was attentive and thoughtful, sending us her personal list of local favorite restaurants and checking in to ensure we were ok.
Thanks so much for your hospitality Jocelyn!
