The short: Emil was an exceptionally warm and friendly host; his space was very comfortable, spacious and in a great location. We'd stay again for sure!

The long:

The host: Emil is a superhost for a reason. Always responsive, always friendly, before check-in he was excellent at making sure we would be taken care of. Flight delays meant we arrived late at night, but he was there to meet us and make us feel at home. During our stay, he was really respectful of our space and privacy, and was super flexible regarding check out. He is the sort of host that makes Airbnb work.

The space: Terrific. The most comfortable bed we've ever slept in! A large room, with a lovely ensuite (with a great shower and beautiful, luxury soaps etc!), all tastefully decorated. Amenities such as a fridge and tea/coffee supplies that would have allowed us to be self-sufficient. It was a very nice haven to come back to after the freezing conditions in Toronto; I can only imagine how nice it is during the summer.

The location: Unbeatable. Steps to Queen West and the (24 hour) streetcar, it is easy to connect to the TTC monolith and go to anywhere in the city. Not that you need to: the Queen West village is (in my opinion) one of the better in TO and there are lovely boutiques and restaurants a stone's throw away. The area is safe and secure and we felt very lucky to be where we were!

This is a five-star worthy space simply because it's a lovely space, in a lovely location, and most importantly, with a lovely host. We'd stay again in a heartbeat. You should too.
