** HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOST **
Hamid and his wife provide a great option to staying at a (most likely) overpriced hotel/motel and their portrayal of the space they have on offer is accurate and "true to form". The apartment includes a separate entrance and a free parking space... But what sets them apart is the exceptional level of customer service and genuine caring for their clients. I was looking for a place for a two-night stay with very short notice on a limited budget and after communicating with Hamid via Airbnb messaging, he agreed to block of the dates I needed cause at the time of reservation I had left my credit card at home and had to figure out an alternative way to pay. In the interim, someone else booked the apartment and Hamid was unable to block off the dates... which he told me immediately. He mentioned that he was in communication with this person to see if he/she would be willing to cancel their reservation and stay elsewhere. I let Hamid know that I would look for another place and proceeded to do so... I eventually found another place for quite a bit more money and as I was entering payment details, I received a message from Hamid informing me that he convinced the other person to cancel and that my dates were currently set to "available"along with an invitation to book directly from him. I jumped on the occasion. On my drive to Toronto, he sent me a text welcoming me to Toronto and wishing me a safe trip, along with all the basic info required (ie where to park, how to get into the apartment -as I was due to arrive in Toronto after 23:00, WiFi name and password, etc) as well as letting me know that he had made sure to put a few bottles of water in the fridge and a few late night snacks on the kitchen table. During my stay, he stayed in contact with me via text messaging, in a manner to ensure my privacy. I needed extra towels and such at one point... to which they presented clean folded towels within 5 minutes of my request. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this host to anyone needing a place to stay on the east side of the GTA... Fantastic experience!!!
