Al's place is conveniently located between College street and Dundas West street. There are many bars/cafes and restaurants on both. The Aroma espresso bar is a good spot for breakfast.

It is possible to walk downtown from the apartment or grab a streetcar on Dundas. It was a nice haven to come back to after visiting busy downtown. Every facility was available in the apartment.

Al checked in to ensure we arrived to the apartment OK.

In short if I was going to Toronto again I'd avoid downtown and stay here.
