These hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Clearly they have thought about everything those new to Toronto might appreciate. The place looked just like the pictures - a beautifully renovated home. It was very clean and the mattress was just the firmness that I like! The basement level is very nice, with a private bathroom and TV area and bedroom -- with a nice open staircase leading downstairs. The basement is largely below ground, so if you require big windows and a lot of natural light, this wouldn't be a good choice. However we were mostly there to sleep so it was just fine for us and it's well lit in any case. Transit is nearby and there's a good grocery store and a Tim's just a block away. We had use of the kitchen as needed, which we appreciated. They had cleared a shelf in the fridge for us and a shelf in the cupboard, for food, which I thought was very thoughtful. They are quiet people and so were the other AirBNB guests who were staying upstairs. A great stay!
