Thank you again for the great hospitality. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at LusoCharm. The place was very clean, tidy and modern. Nice open concept between the kitchen, living room and the dining room. All the amenities that you have included (in the kitchen, bathroom, living room) was very kind and appreciated. We made good use of the kitchen; was modern, well equipped, and the gas stove was fabulous to use. The proximity to the Yorkdale mall and the subway station was very convenient. As you are aware, my sister was next door, so the kids loved having us there. Cannot get any closer. The Saturday morning bagels and pastries was over the top. They were tasty!

We are looking forward to our next visit and staying with LusoCharm. It felt like home away from home!

When staying at this place you’ll be receiving some of the hands down best accommodation from people who genuinely care about meeting every single one of your needs. The hosts blew away myself, and my fellow travelers with their spotless home. Everything we needed was at the tip of our fingers. Thank you so much for making this trip amazing and going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed!
