We loved our stay at Bibian & Alberto's. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Their space had everything we needed for our 30 day stay.

Our goal was to stay at their place while we transition into Toronto. We loved the neighborhood so much we ended up getting an apartment nearby. The area is a perfect mix of a downtown vibe and residential. Steps away you have busy streets like Mount Pleasant and Eglinton and not too much further, Yonge street where you can find endless shopping, restaurants, entertainment and any amenities you may need. Then as soon as you turn off those streets you walk into extremely cute residential areas, which is where Bibian & Alberto live.

The place is basically a basement apartment with its own separate entrance. The neighborhood is extremely quiet, you won't get ambient noise from outside at any time of the day or night. We walked the neighborhood endlessly and we always felt very safe.

There are plenty of transportation options nearby. We didn't take the bus because we enjoyed the walk to the metro, which was about 12-15 minutes but if you don't want to walk you have that option. Once you are at the metro station you are a 15 minute ride to downtown. The times we used Uber Taxi and UberX, we never waited longer than a few minutes.

The WIFI was strong and never went down once in 30 days. We appreciated the Apple TV with Netflix and made good use of it.

Things to try around Bibian and Alberto's: Wild Burger (burgers made with game meats (and veggie options) and great draft beer), Metro grocery store on Eglinton (there is perfectly good Sobey's closer to the house but that particular Metro store is something to marvel at), Ringberry beer at Granite Brewery (you can buy it to go!), Urb Organic Spa (got a facial), shops and restaurants on Bayview street (BF got the best haircut of his life at Tony's and we loved the antique shops), Fresh on Eglinton (vegan and veggie food).

When we didn't feel like cooking, we loved ordering from The Friendly Thai (Malaysian Curry is awesome) and Classico Louie's pizza. You can find endless more options on orderit.ca.

The hosts were basically perfect and were always available to answer any questions we might have about the place or the city in general.
