This was my first time staying at an Airbnb. Alison and Russell's Airbnb will be my first choice in Toronto from now on! The private room, overlooking the backyard, is spacious and elegant (as you can see in the posted photo, Alison is an avid gardener). The equally elegant, spacious bathroom, beautifully tiled, has a floor to ceiling glass shower and a spa-sized tub. A large, walk-in cupboard, really a small room, provides ample storage, as well as a small fridge and coffee counter. The decor and maintenance of the accommodation reflect meticulous attention to detail. Leaside Bed and Breakfast is located in a prosperous, peaceful neighborhood. It's close to coffee shops and, a short bus ride away, on Bayview Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road, some fine restaurants, as well as the Eglinton subway station to access Toronto's downtown core. Getting to know Alison and Russell, when our busy lives intersected, was one of the great pleasures in staying here. They are a remarkable couple, passionately engaged with family and with the world at large. I left their Airbnb, restored and inspired.
