Larry and Susan are the most kind hosts! Our flight came in pretty late, by the time we got to the space it was about 12:20AM. Although we were given detailed instructions, we had a bit of a hard time finding the place in the dark, so we ended up giving Larry a call, he graciously popped out, welcomed us in and gave us a tour of the space! So ridiculously kind.
The place was wonderful and felt like home, truly. I was with my cousin and we each took one of the rooms. I asked for the beds in the second room to be pushed together, and both of us agreed it was probably the sleep we've had in ages. Absolutely lovely.
The bathroom was beautiful. It had everything we needed including some luxurious sample sized bath products. Epsom salts, bath bombs, everything. Forgot the flooring in the bathroom was heated- that was truly a delight.
The kitchen was stocked with (biodegradable, YAY!) K-Cups, Larry and Susan got us some skim milk, fresh fruit, all the awesome things.
The living room was so cozy, full access to Netflix and all the channels you can imagine.
I'm putting this last bit here, because I do not want it to take away for both the brilliant space, and the delightful hosts.
Because of the ice storm the week before, there were ants coming into the space. From our understanding there was ant poison placed/sprayed, so most ants where coming in and dying. Larry did explain that they have lived in this space for over 20 years and that this was one of the only incidents. I think it was just a way for Toronto to welcome me as I move from the prairies to Ontario. Now for many folks, this is not going to be a problem. I have a bit of an issue with insects so around day three, when the bigger female ones started coming in, I started getting a bit panicked.
However- back to the graciousness of Larry and Susan. I texted Larry and explained that bigger ants were coming through, and he offered to come in to see at our earliest convenience. Larry came in and checked out the situation, and with no prompt from us, offered, that if it was making us uncomfortable, we could leave and they would offer us a refund. We did end up taking the offer- because like I said, I have an issue with insects. But oh goodness Larry apologized so much, he was so sincere and so worried about our experience.
I cannot being to express the grace and kindness both Larry and Susan extended to us. Because I am moving to Toronto, my cousin has already made intentions to stay here again when she comes to visit!!
Thank you again for all that you've done!!
