Quiet neighborhood about a 10-15 walk to either the bus or the Yorkdale metro station. Either one can get you down close to the center in about 45 minutes. Tim Horton coffee on the corner was a nice perk. My wife and I were only at the house a few hours a night, but we had no problems a coming or going. Instructions are clear for the most part. Still a little confused about the no toilet paper in the toilet instruction, but I just waited to go number 2 until we were out in town. Also, don't expect much privacy as there are a few shared rooms. We had a great stay!!
