The apartment was very clean and well connected to the Downtown area, as Dufferin Street is on a main bus route and not far from a Subway line. The location is within walking distance of a shopping mall, a Catholic Church and quite a few eating places! Is is, in fact, near one of the two Italian quarters of Toronto.
It was a pity that there was no real communal sitting area as there were only four small stools in the little kitchen and the divan in one of the two bedrooms wasn't very comfortable.
Another problem was that there wasn't a bannister along the staircase going up to the apartment.
However all things cosidered we found the apartment to be good value for money and ideal for a short stay in Toronto.
Our hostess was very considerate and helpful.
