Annie's place met my expectations and some! It was easy to arrive at, check-in was a breath. The place was immaculately clean and so much bigger than what you see in the pictures. Annie's only flaw is under-advertizing her place! I really mean it.
Communication with Annie both before arrival and during our stay was easy. I was traveling with my toddler daughter and I had several questions to make sure that the place would be suitable for us. She answered all of them with details. I asked so many questions, I was worried I would annoy her! I had ordered things on Amazon and when I realized that they were arriving before we did, I just asked her to keep an eye. Not only did she keep an eye but she kept them all in the house. It was like coming back home.
As soon as I opened the front door, I thought 'wow! This place is so much bigger than it was advertised!' The main bedroom was big, big enough for me to leave my yoga mat on the floor at all times. The bed was so big and comfortable. The smaller room was more than enough for my always-traveling-with-too-many-toys-and-dolls daughter. The bathroom was big and the water pressure so good.
Now, on to the decorations - you can tell that Annie took her time and decorated her place thoughtfully. From the lighting, to the coffee table, the warm fluffy blankets and the couch. All stylish, yet comfortable. There were more than enough towels and extra bedsheets.
When you arrive from an international trip, the first thing you think about is whether there is water or not in the house (at least for me). She left enough bottled water in the house for us not to worry about that. Not only that, before our food deliveries arrived, she offered us food!!!
Once we settled down, she gave us a lot of local tips about the neighbourhood. There is a bus just outside of the house and a beautiful park just across the street. If you are staying longer, there is a Grade school next to the part and a daycare 2-3 blocks from the house.
I was all what I was looking for. And I would stay at Annie's place in a heartbeat!
