My partner and I were in Toronto for a stressful round of interviews and stayed in Brent's studio because we adore the Leslieville neighbourhood. It's truly the best way to experience Toronto as a liveable city and I would easily recommend this place. Despite the fact that it rained for much of the trip, there is a great deck and private outdoor space. The house is located very close to public transit, including the Queen streetcar line. Red Rocket Coffee is a five minute walk and a great independent coffee shop.
Brent is super accomodating and had us settled in as soon as we arrived. He allowed us to check in early and check out late to accomodate our flights. He gave us all the privacy we needed, but is available if you need anything. Great shower, internet connection, etc.
We overpacked not realizing that everything you really need is available - towels, extra pillows, even shampoo!
