Great place to stay!
Samantha has a beautiful house in Leslieville; beautifully finished but comfortable. It was exactly as described in the listing and was a welcome base to return to after a day in the city or else just a calm retreat in which to relax.
The house location is great - plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and Ed's ice creams (!) within easy walking distance. There is a supermarket a short walk away and the Queen St streetcar is just around the corner for easy access to downtown Toronto. There are plenty of playgrounds and parks around which was very important for us and our three year old boy.
But the brightest gem we found on our stay was Samantha herself! She made us feel incredibly welcome in her home and she is a warm, friendly and convivial host. She gave us as much privacy as we needed but was always available for information and advice. Before our arrival, she was always prompt with her responses to queries and was only a short phone call or email away during our stay. A beacon of hospitality.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Samantha's place and look forward to returning.
