In our many years of renting vacation apartments worldwide, rarely have we been as pleased as we were during our week-long rental of Veronique’s enchanting house in late November 2013. We are a professional couple with two small children. Our initial contact was very informative and Veronique responded immediately to all of our follow-up queries. Veronique was an absolutely consummate hostess. Our flight was delayed for two hours, but she waited patiently for us until we arrived at 9:00 PM, no less. She had everything on hand - bread, milk, bottled water, tea & coffee (great espresso machine), sugar, etc. Veronique had prepared a handy written guide including all contact information in case we needed help, as well as every possible aspect of the operation of the house. She also provided us with a fantastic guide to the area with the best stores and restaurants indicated on the map which she prepared. The house is absolutely beautiful and the photos do not do it justice. It has been remodeled and updated with all of the modern amenities, while retaining the its original charm. The kitchen has everything that one could imagine, the living/dining area is very comfortable with a large dining table and superb chairs. The twin sofas are a pleasure to curl up in to read a book, watch the large LED TV, or just to relax and chill. Downstairs there is a half bath and the laundry area with a full size washer and dryer. Veronique provided the laundry detergent and softener, as well as all the other supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a master and second, both with very comfortable beds, as well as a modern bathroom with a shower. The master is large and both bedrooms have ample closet space. There is a large deck off the living dining area which has a dining table and chairs, as well as a gas barbecue. We hope to come back in the summer to take advantage! There is also a large one-car garage in the back for those that have a vehicle. We told Veronique that we had a minivan, so she moved a table to the side so that there would be ample room for it. If you do not have a vehicle, the area is extremely convenient for getting to just about anywhere in Toronto. The Yonge/Lawrence subway station is a short ten minute walk. We used the subway several times to go downtown in order to avoid traffic and parking, and the whole experience was seamless and terrific. The Yonge/Lawrence/Avenue Road area is one of the most chic in all of Toronto. The area is home to some of the city’s finest restaurants, as well as some of its most interesting boutiques. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the area and only regret that we did not have more time to explore it entirely. We cannot wait to return! We highly recommend Veronique’s beautiful home for those who who...
