I stayed at John and Lise's place with my mum and we both loved the apartment and the area (I would really recommend Kensington Market as it has a great buzz and is walking distance to most of Toronto).
This was my mum's first airbnb experience and I have to say I was a little worried about her arriving alone a day before me. However, Lise was so welcoming and even though my mum was 1.5 hours delayed this wasn't a problem. She even took my mum out to get some bits and pieces from the shops after check in and made her feel at home.
The apartment is a good size and has everything you would need. Very clean and organised and easy to find.
We really enjoyed our stay so thank you!
