Gerardo really went out of his way to make sure my stay at his place was as comfortable and as welcoming as possible.
He responded promptly to all my messages, answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had. In addition, he also offered a lot of incredibly useful information about Toronto and tips.
He provided me with everything I needed and more, including an extremely comfortable bed, a lightening fast internet connection and quick, easy access to laundry facilities and my very own fridge.
Unlike most hosts, I would imagine, he was also more than happy to interact with me, making me feel more like a roommate than guest and in doing so made me feel more at home here in Toronto.
I really liked the place itself too. It feels quite spacious and cosy at the same time. I also loved the interior design and the place is clean. In fact there is really nothing I didn’t like about the place, only that it was a bit far from where my girlfriend lives. However, there’s a bus stop just outside the apartment block that takes you to Danforth Avenue (very near) where you can take other buses, trams or the subway all over Toronto. You can also find loads of good supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants there. I would suggest walking there rather as it’s a great walk.
Overall, the experience was way above anything I ever could have imagined and I was sad to leave. I would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend Gerardo’s place to anyone else who is looking for good company with a local and a pleasant, homely experience here in Toronto.
