Listen, don't bother looking anywhere else for an airbnb place in Toronto. As far as I am concerned, when you go to Toronto, you stay at Doug's place - it's that simple. From the moment we booked the place (a first time for airbnb for my wife and I !), Doug was immediately on top of the emails and texts to answer any questions and respond. We were arriving by car after a 13-14 hour drive and he made sure to get everything set up even though we were rolling in kind of late.

When we arrived, everything was exactly as described and there were no surprises - other than how great the place and the location are. When Doug says it's close to the subway station - he's not kidding. 30 seconds - that's how long it takes to get from the door to the Subway station. We were allowed to park our car in the driveway and that made for a very smooth visit to GTA. Our son was graduating from UofT and we were literally 15 minutes away from him at the university and we shuttled back and forth several times.

There's a little bakery shop at the end of the street and it's great - about 4 minutes walk.

After meeting and talking with Doug for a few minutes he felt like an old school buddy - he's just that sort of guy - friendly and genuine.

Our son is entering his PhD program at UofT so there will be many more trips to Toronto to come, and we're staying at Doug's - there will be no time wasted looking elsewhere. Doug's even offered to bump his mother from the place if we plan to come at the same time she's visiting, but I think he was joking....and I hope his mother does not read this review - haha.

So in closing, stop wasting time digging through listings in GTA for airbnb and just book Doug's place. We were thrilled with the place as well as him and his family.
