Dean & Vida are very sweet and gave a welcoming tour when we arrived. The house is clean, and they are very generous with their supplies. Spices, coffee, tea, paper towels, etc. Great for saving on groceries and restaurants while traveling. Lots of space, so it was awesome for spending time with family. Cheaper than a hotel (but not by much) and nice to have the communal space for a group. Beautiful back yard and a relatively short walk to the subway.
The only downside for me was the master bed — wildly uncomfortable. I honestly have no idea how they sleep like that. Hard mattress and the slightest movement makes the frame creak. If you’re a light sleeper you will wake yourself up adjusting. I have EDS and a ton of joint pain/sleep issues, so I ended up sleeping on a blanket on the floor most of the stay.
I also don’t recall if the listing said this, but there is a downstairs and upstairs neighbor. We did hear the upstairs one, which woke my partner up more than once. I knew it was an old home, so the info about neighbors would have been good to know ahead of time.
All that said, as long as your group is made of low maintenance sleepers, you will love this home!
