Michael and Rhonda were perfect hosts - available and super friendly if we had any questions, but otherwise totally respected our privacy and left us to our own devices - it really felt like we were in our own apartment for two weeks.

The apartment itself has everything you could want for a self-sufficient vacation. It's very clean and well laid out without being so formal that you feel afraid to sit on the furniture. Rhonda and Michael left some groceries for us on the first night which was a very nice touch and much appreciated.

The neighbourhood is great with good restaurants and shops, including a supermarket, very close by. We ate out locally several times and enjoyed it just as much as eating in the centre of town.

It's a short bus and a subway ride into the centre of Toronto but several times we walked in and out of the centre just to get a better feel for the city. It's a long walk but worth doing if you are reasonably fit and have the time.

We loved Toronto and loved the apartment. We would go back to both in a heartbeat.
