We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we walked in, because the whole place was clean and uncluttered, with a bottle of wine and little welcome note on the table!
The home was exactly as described, and a perfect home base for our girls weekend. Two of us were former Torontonians so we knew our way around, but otherwise Vasily was easily contactable and I knew he would have been easy to contact, if we had needed anything.
We parked the car for the weekend and walked to everywhere we wanted to go (with uber/taxi as back-up).
