Alix is a wonderful host. The place is nice and cozy, with a bus stop nearby. It is roughly an hour to downtown Toronto by public transit but other than that groceries and restaurants are walking distance. There is a housecat who is friendly. Alix was kind enough to accommodate some of my requests even though she didn't have to. Very communicative and understanding. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a medium to long term stay.
