ell, Rog & Jim, from what I've read in your guest book there's
not much new I can say. I was amazed in fact at how well the other
guests were able to express our sentiments! As they said, your food
-- taste and presentation -- were divine, but more importantly we
enjoyed your company. From the first night we felt like inviting the
two of you out to dinner with us! You both have a gift for making
people feel comfortable. In addition, I loved all the little touches:
fresh flowers, fireplace, robes, newspapers, etc. I felt so at home
I forgot about checkout time--Sorry!--- Patrice and Steve, Walled

ur stay with you has been really enjoyable and comfortable. As hosts
you are second to none -- apart from the international incident with
the tea bags (ha ha). We would recommend your hospitality to anyone
coming to Toronto. Live long and prosper --- Sandra & Paul,
Northampton, England |

I

can think of no better way to experience Toronto for the first time
than to be a guest of the Toronto Downtown Bed and Breakfast. Thank
you so much for the roof, and especially for the lovely(!)
culinary experience. Always --- Bill, Seattle WA / Tucson AZ |

erman and I cannot say enough about our stay with you the past few
days. Two thumbs up, five stars, fantastic, warm, restful, over the
top. Breakfast alone was worth the trip to Toronto. We will be back,
and hopefully you will think of us whenever you make it to Washington
D.C. --- Kevin & Herman, Washington D.C. / Amsterdam Holland |

hank you for taking such good care of us. It's the warmth and kindness
of your spirit that has made this stay special for us, not to mention
the fabulous food (I don't know if my Jim's oatmeal in the morning
will measure up to those mouth-watering pancakes and crepes). We wish
you the best of luck and hope to visit you again. --- Your Pittsburgh
Pals, Tedi and Jim, PA |

T

hank you for a great stay. What a great way to end our trip. The breakfasts
were amazing, often, if not always, far too much!! Nice neighbourhood,
great company, and superb attention to detail, made our tail-end three
days (of 14 nights) in Toronto superb. We'll be back, we hope! Many
thanks--- Uma and Jaz, London, England |

osette and I are wondering how breakfast could ever improve after
Jim's upcoming cooking class in France. To us it's a total mystery.
How can you teach perfection to be better?Roger and Jim, your attention
to detail at TDBAB and the service we experienced is unmatched in
all of our travel experiences. All was so perfect, we even found ourselves
admiring the bill!!--- Bob and Rosette, San Jose, CA / Brussels,
BelgiumP.S.: Great movie collection!

hanks for making our stay in Toronto so great! It was so nice having
a "home" type situation to return to at the end of the day.
Of course, we also have to thank you for the fact that our belts cannot
be tightened as they were previously, since you kept us well fed from
your cookie jar and wonderful breakfasts! Thanks again, -- Greg

hat a wonderful week we have enjoyed in your home. The food was delicious
and the hospitality was great. You are indeed the best hosts. For
two desert rats, your hospitality warmed up the temperature. [Jan.

raci is absolutely speechless when trying to describe how enjoyable
our stay was. I am not speechless, but I will refrain from gabbering
on about all of the little details that made us feel as though we
had stepped into ... heaven. To put it short and sweet, you were fantastic
hosts. You made our honeymoon a memorable experience. Love, --

e'd run out of superlatives too quickly to adequately express our
appreciation of our first return visit to TDBAB. You guys have raised
the accommodation standard to an art form, and no other place we have
stayed has compared. Thank you for making our one-year "anniversary"
extra special. You guys thought of absolutely everything! -- Brian

ur trip to Toronto was extremely special and fun (and fast) --- largely
due to the the charm, help and humor of our hosts. It was a pleasure
to meet you and to acquaint ourselves with your wonderful city. I
am already back to skipping breakfast but it will take me a while
to lose the (delicious) pounds I gained at your table. Hope all is
going well for both of you. --- Dave, Birmingham AL
P.S. Thanks again for helping to make TO so much fun. |

e spent two wonderful days in your bed and breakfast in July. We enjoyed
your gorgeous hospitality, the delicious breakfasts and the friendly
atmosphere. We always remember these days. The reason why I am writing
you is that we tried to make Canadian pancake. It was a fatal error.
So I would like to ask you to send me a good pancake recipe. If it
is possible please send the recipe of your excellent berry pancake.
Thank you very much. Best wishes
--- Lajos & Monica, Budapest, Hungary |

e do appreciate your warm hospitality for these 5 days very much.
This is the first trip to Toronto for us. Niagara Falls, view from
CN Tower, Casa Loma and lively shopping mall in downtown will all
be our good memories.
And moreover, the impressive experience of staying at TDBAB has
made us feel like coming back here again.
When we go home, we're sure we can't help talking to our friends
about such a marvellous breakfast and the hosts' amenities.
Thank you again for everything again, and please take care of yourselves
till we meet again. --- Toshiro (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic)

itting on your balcony right now --- ten stories above, yet
in the heart of it all --- I can't imagine any other urban
retreat where I'd feel so at home. ....
Your breakfasts are truly an event. ... [more effusiveness that
modesty forbids] ... But while the food definitely fuels most
of a day's activities, your hospitality, kindness and friendship
honestly fueled my spirit, leaving me quite psychologically rejuvenated....
For as long as TDBAB is in operation, I'll consider it my home
here, whenever available. Toronto has you to thank for this being
not the first, but the first of many visits I'll make. Take care
of the Duck.....
In friendship --- David, Washington DC
