We loved Brandie- Lynns little house.
She does not live there herself, but the roommates are awesome. They were very sweet, friendly and helpful.
The location is great, right in the heart of Kensington market, so much good food and good shops around!
Brandie Lynn saved us from sleeping on the street after an AirBnb Fail and hosted us the same day we requested. She was very flexible and helpful and let us come straight away even though she did not have a chance to get the room ready yet.

In the neighborhood I would advice:
- Fika cafe for coffee (back yard!)
- Black bird bakery (focaccia's yumm)
- Cheeseshop
get some good bread and cheese and walk over to the park for a pic nic :-)
- The fish taco place

Definitely visit toronto island as well to see the sun set behind the skyline. Walk over to the beach on the other side for some night swimming and campfires :-)
