We stayed at Dean's place for 10 days in Aug 2019. I have to say from the get go Dean went out of his way to make sure we had an enjoyable stay in Toronto. He had maps for us along with tourist info, restaurants, supermarkets and lots of handy tips. Dean has a coach house in the back of his property that he attended a couple of times while we were there and initially I thought it might be a little awkward him being there, but it was not at all. We didn't even know he was there.
Dean's place was spotlessly clean and very comfortable and had everything we needed, it really was a home away from home. We have 2 children and Dean even left some of his kids toys for our children to play with.
The location is great. The streetcar is at the front door and the lake at the end of the street, which was a very easy walk. We could swim in the lake at the boat landing and there is a great park for the kids with a splash pad.
All-in-all we really enjoyed staying at Dean's place, it was a great place for us to gather with family and entertain on the outdoor space.
If we travel to Toronto again we will definitely stay at Dean's place.
