This was my very first AirBnB experience and I think I'm spoiled for life. My flight got in earlier than the 3:00pm check-in time, and they had the place all ready for me and my friend, (although I ended up arriving around 3pm anyways). I was warmly greeted upon arrival and escorted to the room and given a quick tour. Darren and Derek's attention to detail when it comes to hospitality is insanely on point! The place is so clean and organized, with so many little tidbits that make you feel welcome and at home. My friend and I were there for the Nike Women's race and all the snacks and breakfast goodies saved our lives. Since we were hit with some rain, being able to do laundry was another major plus, and they have EVERYTHING you could possibly need. The restaurants that were recommended were wonderful, and as someone else mentioned, THE BEST PIZZA EVAR is just an 8 minute walk away. Having Wifi and so many TV channels kept us busy, and allowed us to enjoy the Warriors Finals game 5, which I thought I'd have to miss being in Canada.
The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and the 501 streetcar made it super quick and easy to get to downtown when we needed.
I can not say enough good things about this place and the hosts. Definitely will be my go to space for all my future Toronto visits. (Oh! and they were sweet enough lend us their umbrellas, because Californians don't carry umbrellas ;)
