Our hosts were most welcoming and flexible (eg. our incoming flight was late and we arrived in the middle of the night). The bikes were a big bonus, it was surprisingly easy riding around town with bike lanes and drivers giving way.
The yard is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, it was a pleasure to walk through it every time. The area is also great, with good food and a few great venues (Bacchanal, Vaughan's) really close by. The trains might startle you at first but all in all it's nice and quiet.
