We were warned that Darya wouldn't be meeting us. Her adorable father was there to welcome us and show me around. I believe he has had a hand in renovating the home and the quality of old world craftsmanship shows.

The main floor is open and laid out well. The two bedrooms are comfortable, but could do with mirrors and somewhere to out things like jewelry, brushes...

The main bathroom is beautiful.

The kitchen is well equipped, but missing a coffee maker and toaster, which when you are making your breakfast are crucial.

The home is spotless, quiet and within easy reach of the shops and restaurants on Queen Street as well as Trinity-Bellwoods Park.
