This is a very comfortable, well-equipped and nicely decorated apartment in the Cabbagetown neighborhood, with many restaurants and shops close by. The apartment is cozy but it has quite a few rooms (including two bathrooms) so we felt we had plenty of space. The house is on a major bus route and it's easy to get to and from downtown Toronto and other neighborhoods. Two subway stations are both about a 10-15 minute walk away. Some of the back streets of the neighborhood are very beautiful with nice old houses and flower gardens. There is also Riverdale Park a few blocks away -- this park has an excellent running/biking trail that goes for miles.
We didn't meet our hosts in person but they were attentive and stayed in contact by email before and during our stay. They were very helpful and I definitely recommend staying with them.
