Lovely stay at Deanne's place. Exactly as described. Deanne kindly collected me from the local train station and dropped me to the airport for a very reasonable fee.
The studio basement appartment was very comfortable. The house is in a really nice neighbourhood.
Thanks Deanne!August 2017
The house is quiet and clean, and hostess provides much help in giving ride, even pick up at airport at very late time of our flight. We also like the lake side view near the house. Thanks.

This guest awarded the host 5 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

Deanne und Dave sind sehr entgegenkommende, hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Deanne schaut umsichtig, ob der Gast gut versorgt ist. Sie waren auch so freundlich , mich vom Bahnhof
abzuholen. Gegen eine Pauschale wurde ich auch zum Flughafen gebracht, was bei meinem
schweren Gepäck sehr hilfreich war. Ich habe mich dort in der ruhigen Umgebung zum
Lake Ontario sehr wohl gefühlt, Spazierengehen und Schwimmen war sehr erholsam nach
anstrengenden Sightseeing Touren in Downtown Toronto.
Das Quartier ist sauber und bequem - sehr zu empfehlen.July 2017
Un hébergement à recommander.
Des hôtes super, un lieu magnifique, une prestation sans reproche.

They were great hosts. They were very helpful with any questions that I had about public transport, local place's to eat. The Roos were clean and the bed was the best I have ever slept in. Their accommodation was in a great location and easily accessible to public transport. They were also willing to pick up and drop off from the airport for a reasonable fee.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
