Glorious house, excellent neighborhood, perfect stay
My group of 6 professional women gathered for an October week in Toronto for a conference. Our stay at Big Mod Home was nothing short of wonderful. The house was perfect for our group:
• Congenial, yet allowing for privacy
• Ample amenities including wifi, excellent mattresses, comfortable linens, well-appointed kitchen, etc.
We gathered every evening in the comfortable kitchen/dining area to cook, share our experiences from the day, etc. Mornings were equally great for our group.
Outside of the wonderful house, the neighborhood was a gem: Family-friendly, safe, diverse, walkable, quiet. A couple of blocks away is Roncesvalles Avenue, with all manner of grocery stores, cafes, and other businesses. The mix of cultures, offerings and activities in the district is remarkable. There was even an excellent computer store that had just the cable that I needed. The nearby Sorauren Farmers’ Market was a warm and lively event within walking distance.
Roncesvalles Avenue also hosts streetcar lines, with frequent (every 5 minutes) streetcars to Lake Ontario in one direction, and connections to the downtown subway as well as the airport train (UPX = Union Pearson eXpress) in the other. Get a Presto card and experience clean, safe, inexpensive, convenient and seamless transit.
The owners deserve glowing remarks as well. In short, they are kind, warm, responsive, and helpful while remaining at a respectful distance.
I hope my next trip to Canada is to Toronto, and I get to stay again at Big Mod Home.
