From the very first moment you walk into the Lane House, you feel warmly received... really, with a giant personalised chalk board welcoming you, that "aww" factor really hits home. Then, upon exploring the house further, you find little treasures left to enhance your time in your temporary home - everything from beer and pop in the fridge, to slippers, dressing gowns, soaps and more - even a visit from the hosts and fresh bagels! Not all Airbnb places are equal and this one stands out as one of the best. Cher and Ellis are wonderful, creative people who have a long history of making their neighbourhood special. They were responsible for establishing and running a long-favourite local restaurant and for being a huge part of the community's vibrant art scene. Staying in the Lane House felt like being back at home. Your privacy is always guaranteed, but if you need to get in touch with Cher, she is always around and more than happy to drop by and sort out any problems, should you ever need her. Truly, I highly recommend staying here, especially if you want to experience some true Toronto hospitality.
