Pennys place is an absolute gem in the heart of Queen West — steps to Trinity Bellwoods and walkable to Parkdale, Little Italy, Kensington Market and so much more.
While the location is central and near night life/great dining options, the street is quiet making for a peaceful stay and no noise in the evening when in the unit.
The space itself is very nice - plenty of space for traveling solo or as a couple. The bathroom was a highlight, with a fantastic shower. I am 6’1” and, being a downstairs suite, I did have to duck to get through the doorway into the bedroom, but a very small price to pay for such a lovely unit.
Never have I stayed in an Airbnb so nicely stocked for the guest - a variety of artisanal foods in the pantry/refrigerator/freezer, an incredible kitchen complete with all flatware, utensils and cookware anyone would need while traveling and great espresso with a stovetop espresso maker.
Penny was communicative, friendly and gracious as a host. Her cat OK Joe said hi as I came and went from the unit a few times and he was as nice as can be.
I will certainly be staying with Penny again on future visits to Toronto.
