Toronto was such an awesome city to explore for my birthday!
Marlene's place was very clean and exactly, if not better, than described. She had beautiful decorations, modern appliances and even a small hidden balcony! (Oh and the master bed was probably the comfiest bed I've ever slept in)
For those who know how Airbnb listings can vary - this was a zero host interaction, painless check in and check out, and an overall wonderful city location.
**For future guests: my friends and I quickly learned to always request Uber/Lyft drivers to take the most direct route to the city vs. the "fastest." Trust me the difference is BIG, both monetarily and distance equally.
