This was a great location! We parked behind Susan's house and rode the subway and trolley our entire stay. An unlimited pass was $43 adult/$33 child. We ate and shopped up the street locally AND enjoyed exploring the other neighborhoods of Toronto. Locally, no one knew we were tourists because there are no nearby hotels in this location. Would stay here over a hotel anyday. There are stairs to enter the apartment. We could hear footsteps above, but no different than the noises you get at a hotel. Heard Susan's beautiful piano only once during our stay at dinner. Many tourist brochures magazines and maps were in the apartment to use.
