This was my first experience with Airbnb and Gg and Archer made it a great introduction. They were warm and welcoming, and made us comfortable in their home without leaving us feeling crowded. Some might find that their guest room is too in the beaten track of their family living space, but it didn't bother me at all--as a matter of fact, I wish we had had a little more time to visit with them between our ventures out into Toronto, because the whole family was very friendly.

When we did have time to chat, both Gg and Archer were stellar guides to the city and had lots of suggestions on both destinations and directions to save time and energy. Gg even called in a reservation for us on our last evening in town! :) And speaking of things to do, their house is a couple short minutes walk to a major thoroughfare with tons of shops, restaurants, and cafes and that leads straight into downtown. Despite this, there didn't seem to be much bothersome noise at night when we were ready to go to sleep.

The room itself was clean when we arrived, had a whole drawer full of maps centered around various interests / tour focuses (native heritage, lgbt, art, etc), Gg had left us filtered water on the endstand, and the room is equipped with a coffee/latte maker (amazing). They had even left us treats from a local bakery as a welcome gift!

Overall I would recommend Gg's room in a heartbeat for the location, condition of the room, and Gg's and Archer's wonderful welcoming attitude.
