1000% would recommend Bryan’s place to anyone traveling to Toronto. I can’t say enough good things about the Airbnb (location was awesome!) and Bryan’s hospitality, which made our trip truly unforgettable.
The AirBnb: location was very walkable (even on a cold weekend) to various Toronto hot spots with great access to food and bars. Room was outfitted with everything we needed and more, all of the things you want to bring or have access to, but often don’t want to pack: (Google Home connected to Spotify, shampoo, blow dryer, ample space, spices for cooking, books, desk space, and washer and dryer in-unit was a plus). Elevators are slow, but what do you expect for a skyscraper apt with those views?? This didn’t bother us or effect our trip at all. Also, we had a late flight, and Bryan met us personally to make the checkin seamless.
Bryan was attentive, fast to communicate prior to arrival, and continued to send thoughtful and custom suggestions throughout our stay for local food and activity recommendations which really helped us maximize our fun for a short stay. I’ve had a number of great AirBnb hosts, but Bryan was superior even to them: he genuinely wanted to help us have a good time. He even went above and beyond the average host, helping me to facilitate a birthday surprise by decorating the apartment with balloons, candles, wine, and cupcake set up perfectly for the birthday girls arrival.
I’ll definitely be back to Toronto, and I’ll be staying at Bryan’s again, no doubt.
Some of our highlights: Allan gardens, graffiti alley, PAI Thai, the aquarium (shark exhibit is so worth it), and Black Market Vintage for shopping.
