My wife and I had a wonderful 4-day stay at Irina's and would love to come back for longer. Irina's studio apartment is charming and impeccably clean. It gets a little hot because it is on the top floor but the AC is very effective. As a guest you also have access to the garden and the downstairs common area, which features several quiet and comfortable lounges. The location is great: on a calm, quiet street, but also within a 5-min walk of a vibrant neighborhood with may restaurants and delis. It also provided a great base for exploring the city, as it is within walking distance of several attractions (U of Toronto, Royal Ontario Museum, Casa Loma) and of the subway and trolley. We appreciated the free off-street parking, which allowed us to leave the car put and roam the city on foot. We didn't meet Irina in person but she was very responsive and helpful by phone. In sum: highly recommended!
