Joanne was nothing short of wonderful as a host. She exceeded our expectations completely. It is a beautiful, modern, super clean, renovated basement apartment that I would honestly live in if I could. There is a big, comfortable bed to sleep in, a washer and dryer, a shower equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. She provided essentials and so much more, there were all your basic necessities, as well as fresh baked muffins (de-licious) when we arrived, coffee, tea, wager, milk, eggs, sparkling water, fresh fruit, bagels and English muffins and protein bars. She made us feel so welcome and even has a printed itinerary she put together for people exploring Toronto. Her house is a 2 minute drive to the Go train, which she also provides schedules for. We didn't take advantage of the beautiful backyard, but she offered it as a shared space as well. I'm not sure we will ever stay somewhere so inviting, and appealing. Highly recommend.
