Scott's place is a great value and a homey HQ from which to explore Toronto. The room I had was spacious and cozy, and provided a nice view of trees, sky, and the street out front - with a shared bathroom in the same hall and easy access to the large, shared kitchen. Scott provided towels, toilet paper, soap when I did laundry in the basement, city guides, tips for exploring, and even filtered spring water in the kitchen. The house is quite near to High Park, Sunnyside Beach, and the shops, cafes, restaurants, & corner markets of the Roncesvalles neighborhood. And it's not too far from downtown, especially if you take a street car, bus, or the subway - all conveniently nearby. Overall, a lovely place to stay!
