My friend Heather and I stayed with Kelly for a girls' weekend. She was a great communicator prior to (and during) our visit, which is always a concern to me, since as soon as we cross the border from the states to Canada, our phones stop working. On this trip, we received heavy snow in western NY on our way up to Canada, which delayed our arrival time. We kept in touch and Kelly was very flexible and accommodating. When we finally arrived, about 2 hours later than expected, she welcomed us, got us situated, explained house rules, gave us a key, and then called the restaurant where we had made a dinner reservation (which we missed by a half hour) and got them to honor it for us! And then she called us a cab to take us there! We really appreciated her preparedness and her calm and welcoming manner, despite the fact that we felt bad for impacting her evening plans. Over the course of the weekend we had many great conversations with Kelly; she made recommendations for us (which we took, and which were very helpful) and in general, we enjoyed her company. I can't imagine anyone not liking her! As for Kelly's home, it is EXACTLY as the photos show. The guest bedroom is more spacious than the photos allow you to see, and we were pleasantly surprised that besides towels Kelly also put a bottle of sparkling flavored water and a couple of cups with our names on them in the room for us! The bathroom is great; water and water pressure were great; and sharing with Kelly and Heather (so 3 people for the one bathroom) was not an issue. The house was also quiet, cozy and warm and had a really nice energy vibe to it as being very home-away-from-home-ish. There was plenty of street parking; Kelly is about 100 foot-steps away from a great little corner coffee shop (Kelly is a tea drinker) and a couple blocks away from the trolley line on Queen. We also walked to the Distillery District (about 15 min) and the St. Lawrence Market (about 20 min) from her place, no problem. Overall we felt the neighborhood was safe and quiet and it was easy to navigate and move around. We also used Kelly's fridge and kitchen. We had told her of our intent to make breakfast on Sunday, and we did some shopping at the market on Saturday and put items in her fridge. On Sunday morning she had pans and bowls ready for us on the counter. She also provided tea, honey and some oranges for snacks/to supplement our breakfast. She also has three bins: one for composting (yay!), one for recycling (yay!), and one for garbage - if this division of waste is important to you (as it is for Heather and I), take note! Only two things I will note: Kelly has internet TV which for us meant no cable/movies/network channels. This was...
