Daniel’s second floor apartment was spacious, super clean, and had everything I needed for my 5-day in Toronto. Located in the Corso Italia neighbourhood (the other Little Italy) at St. Clair and Dufferin, it was centrally located and had all the necessary conveniences. Very walkable to downtown and to public transit. Located on the cliff as St. Clair /Dufferin as Dufferin descends south towards Davenport, Dupont, and Bloor.
The actual space is perfect. Opposite of the open concept apartment, this spacious one bedroom had a separate eat-in kitchen, separate living room, and bedroom. The apartment has the fastest wifi speed I have ever experienced in my 3 years of constant air BnB-ing (in Montreal & Toronto).
The bathroom had excellent shower pressure, and the kitchen had all the necessary pots and pans for cooking (a standard size fridge, gas stove, microwave, large kitchen table).
The second floor back terrace had a lovely view (south west exposure) with gorgeous sunsets and an unobstructed view of the neighbourhood. Since it was a floor-through apartment, I had windows on all four sides so there was plenty of natural light throughout the space.
The bedroom was very comfortable and each room had pull down blinds to block light. Checkin was super easy (lockbox with keys inside) and Daniel made the extra effort to message me and ask if i needed a French press and soda stream. He provided extra coffee for me and was very responsive and helpful with local neighbourhood information.
The apartment is on the second floor of an old Toronto-style cottage and was situated on a quiet tree-lined residential street near the main thoroughfare (St. Clair). I was very happy with my 5 day stay and would definitely return to this neighbourhood and this particular apartment for my future Toronto visits. Highly recommended! Daniel was an excellent host, very friendly, helpful, and personable.
