Arian's place was not as large as we first imagined, however, it was incredibly comfy and suited all of our needs. The location is great and seemed to be very safe during the day and at night. While only Casa Loma is within walking distance, there are a few public transit locations nearby within 5-10 minutes walk.
In terms of nightlife and restaurants, there are not as many options in the area compared to say downtown - or even just a bit farther south. Overall, while the nightlife in the area is not great, public transportation or taxis are perfectly fine for getting around at night.
In short, Arian's place is a great cozy spot if you are looking for a comfortable place to sleep after a nights out. The location is pretty good as well if you don't mind walking or taking a bus.
