If you want to stay in gorgeous house in a bustling, fun and always exciting Toronto neighborhood, walking distance to all the points of interest, look no more! Patrick's place is just as described (even better). We loved the way it was set up and decorated and that it was not a sterile airbnb but a place that allowed us to feel like we were staying at a friend's house. The house was also very comfortable with plenty of space, lovely back deck and rooftop deck, lovely private bedrooms for all of us (master suite on the top floor is great!) and plenty of space to hang out. Great, well stocked kitchen. Patrick was the best host ever and gave us a ton of tips on what to do as if he knew what our particular family would enjoy most. The house is right at Kensington Market but by the little park so it is not loud as some of the other places in the area may be. There are a lot of places to eat, shop and have fun all around. We were able to walk everywhere - University, downtown, Yorkville, Cabbagetown. We drove just once when we went to the Distillery district and the beaches. Parking was easy - permit parking that you can get and pay for online and there was always a space available right in front of the gate.
Overall, great place, great host, great neighborhood. Highly recommended.
