Robert and his wife were great hosts - leaving home-made brownies on our first day and snacks before we left, and being friendly and attentive the whole way through.

The apartment comfortably slept four of us (a double bed, a double sofabed and a fold-out single), and we had no problems at all. There's even a yard, complete with a home gym and static bike.

One thing to be aware of is that the bathroom is inbetween the bedroom and the living room (which we were using for an extra sleeping area), so if you've got people sleeping in both rooms you need some kind of system to know whether someone's in the bathroom or not. It didn't bother us at all, but maybe worth knowing.

The neighborhood was great too - super-safe, 2 mins from the subway, and with cafes, grocery stores and laundrettes all nearby.
