As simple as I can state it, this place is incredible! We were in Toronto for a marathon and we could not have asked for better accommodations. Vanessa was very communicative and easy to reach, her family was there to meet us and were extremely gracious and courteous in their hospitality. As for the home, it exceeded our expectations by a wide margin. It is beautifully decorated and there is an amazing record collection. The pictures don't quite do justice to how large it is. The master bedroom and "ensuite" bathroom absolutely blew me away. All of the amenities a person could require are present and the "home away from home" vibe is very strong. Its location within Parkdale is ideal as it's a few minutes walk from both the waterfront and a section of Queen street full of amazing bars and restaurants. I would easily recommend this home to anyone looking for a charming, relaxed image of Toronto life.
