An absolutely stunning home and location, with wonderful amenities. The design is incredible, and it is a home that provides you with everything you could possibly need upon arrival, from complimentary coffee and breakfast, food recommendations, house instructions, washer/dryer, etc. Tran was an excellent, communicative host, who even granted us a late check-out that we were very thankful for. It (very) comfortably housed four adults, and really added to our overall Toronto experience. I hope we are able to stay again in the future!
The only downside (which is completely out of the host's control, but we wish we had known), was the ongoing Queen St. construction that was not mentioned until the day of our check-in, even though we later found out it has been ongoing for quite some time. It was inconvenient both logistically, and because of the noise (24-hour construction, directly outside the south-facing windows). Having formerly lived in Toronto, we booked this location due to it's location on Queen W. The entire stretch of Queen from Claremont Ave. to shortly past Ossington was closed in both directions, with no possible north/south traffic. We had a tight schedule during our stay, and getting in and out of the location ended up being time-consuming, expensive, and frustrating - we thought we would be able to take the streetcar to most of our engagements, but there was not even transit replacement via bus available. In addition, this has completely killed foot traffic in the area, which is another big selling point for Queen W. This is absolutely not the fault of our wonderful host Tran - we know construction is beyond one's control - but we would have liked to know in advance, so we could have adequately planned for it.
