Holly and Chad's is a well-appointed basement apartment (can be awkward if you're 6'1" or taller) in a lovely neighbourhood. It has all amenities we required (including a washer and dryer) for our 2-night stay, using it simply as a launching pad for our exploration of mid-summer Toronto.
Holly and Chad live upstairs, and they greeted us warmly from their front porch when we arrived weary but satisfied after a day at the bitter-sweet experience that can be Niagara Falls on a holiday weekend. Our hosts even apologized for having had to replace their signature welcome truffles with a chocolate bar. They're too nice and very accessible via text! Also, parking was a cinch using the city's temporary parking purchase site.
I'll have to note one thing that will prove a challenge for those with pet allergies. Holly and Chad have furry pets, and while they don't allow pets in their basement apartment, it's connected to the house's central air. The allergens did a number on me. I don't remember seeing the current note on their profile when I booked several weeks ago that the property has pets, but in any case despite the lovely space and the welcoming hosts, I couldn't stay there again due to my allergies.
It's too bad, because it's a nice place in my kind of neighbourhood about a ten-minute walk to the subway, Bloor Street, Ossington, and the Dufferin corridor.
If you have no pet allergies and don't mind the height restrictions, I definitely recommend Holly and Chad's for your Toronto visit. Enjoy!
