Travelers often look for the "best" place to stay while away from home, but always forget that people, not places, make a trip more enjoyable. The listing, of course, is impeccable: located less than a 10 minute walk from the subway and some major transit lines running 24/7, located in a quiet and safe building, apartment decorated and furnished with a sense of style, check-in process smooth and efficient done through text message, flexible check-in and check-out time depending on needs... However, what made the experience a little more exciting than just "I rented an airbnb" was getting to talk to Carlos and his co-host Matthew, understanding the local Toronto a little better, and seeing how the city that we visit is just much more than the sum of its people. Also, if some of you are allergic to cats... This listing can still be appropriate, because the house cat is a gorgeous (hypoallergenic) Russian blue cat! Thanks again for the stay, and thanks for checking us in despite being incredibly late from our almost 6-hour long drive from Ottawa!
