Michael's place is a great launching pad to explore Toronto - easy access to public transport, the local cafe/restaurant strip is wonderful, a huge nearby park, and easy waterfront access. I didn't realise quite how big Toronto was, so this was a little further from downtown than I realised, but this was no worry to me, as the walk in and out of town was very interesting - though may not be to the liking of all. Michael and Carole were easily contactable, quick to reply, friendly and made some great suggestions for local places to check out.
