In retrospect, staying here was kind of a bad idea. I was relocating from Ireland and looking ahead to my move in to a rental condo which contained a bed, some cutlery and some patio chairs. The Annex Garden B&B is about the starkest contrast imaginable.
I booked through http://www.torontoband... which was really easy. They sent on full instructions with directions etc. Roberta, the owner of the B&B, emailed herself a couple of weeks later with extra instructions and just to say hello!
I arrived in the pouring rain in the middle of the G20 riots. Roberta wasn't there when I first landed but I already had the code for the door and let myself in. I had ENORMOUS bags so let them downstairs while I did some exploring in town. When I met Roberta later, she could not have been more welcoming. We brought one of my huge bags upstairs together but decided to leave the other one downstairs. I was grateful for that-her home is beautiful and I hated thinking that I was taking over her living room.
My bedroom was lovely. 2 twin beds, bright bathroom and huge closet with nice touches like a robe, alarm clock, ironing board and iron. The TV didn't have great reception but I didn't really watch much anyway-too busy looking for furniture to put in the condo. I made full use of the mini fridge and the free wifi though!
Breakfast was different every morning but always delicious. I had wholemeal waffles, omelettes, freshly baked bread, fruit.... I don't think I've eaten such a delicious variety of food since then. Coffee was excellent and plentiful. Roberta is great to chat to and managed to get everybody chatting at the breakfast table. She will give recommendations on things to do and places to eat and can talk on pretty much any subject! She has a really cute little pug dog too who makes you feel like part of the family!
It was a lovely few days and I felt completely at home. I wished I could stay longer. The house is gorgeous and kept beautifully. I believe she will be moving down the street in the future but I have no doubt that it will be equally gorgeous. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting the city. Or if you just want to sleep in a really comfy bed and have a nice breakfast....
