This is a WONDERFUL find. We stayed here for 2 months when first arriving in Canada. Location is excellent - it’s half a block away from neighborhood restaurants grocery pharmacy clinic and transit. Literally everything you need is 3-5 minutes walk, but you’re on a quiet street. We’re foodies and loved the variety and quality nearby. You can transit most places and you’re well positioned to drive unless you want the far west side. Street parking is so easy it feels like the suburbs. (You’ll need a permit for anything long term, but it was easy to get and the hosts will help you.) Neighbors are super friendly and helpful, and folks in the shops are very welcoming too. It feels like the Amelie version of Paris - it’s really that nice.
The house is very comfortable and liveable for a long or short stay. The interior is high quality and quite cute, filled with light. There’s good noise separation between the upper and basement bedrooms. Both heat and AC are very effective. And if you like to cook, the double ovens and gas burners are great. The little backyard is nice in spring, with trees around and birds stopping by.
Hosts are super responsive and helpful (very quick on text.) The house is set up well, so you won’t need them really….but for example, the kettle broke and the hosts brought a new one over the same day. They checked in just the right amount to see if we were comfortable. They were a great source for recommendations and practical info on the city, too.
Really can’t rave enough….this is the Airbnb I’ll miss on every future trip!
