Clarence's house was the perfect place for two families of four to use as a homebase during our four night stay in Toronto. The house is lovingly restored with modern, elegant, and comfortable touches throughout. There is a living room, spacious dining room, powder room, and kitchen on the first floor, with a lovely back patio; two queen bedrooms and two master bathrooms on the second floor; and two queen bedrooms on the third floor. The set up allowed for the parents to occupy the second floor rooms, with each family getting a master bath. The kids (two sets of siblings) occupied the third floor rooms. Everyone was able to spread out and find privacy when they wanted to.
Clarence met us at the house and helped set up the wifi and Sonos. He showed us how to use the TV. He provided us with restaurant recommendations in the neighborhood and around the city. His hospitality extended throughout our stay as he checked in with us the next morning and, when I inquired about charcoal at the house for the grill, he went out of his way to purchase lump charcoal and drop it off for us. (We grilled out two of the four nights after shopping at the St. Lawrence Market.)
The location of the house is perfect for families wanting to explore the city. We were in walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and public transportation, which allows us to explore many parts of the city without taking the car out.
