My partner and I had an absolutely terrific experience at Ryan's lovely flat, which is right in the heart of Leslieville, a short walk from all the great shops and cafes along Queen Street East. Ryan is a solicitous and thoughtful host - showed us around the flat thoroughly, left some tasty snacks and breakfast items in the fridge for us, and was extremely flexible about arrival/departure. He also recommended some great neighborhoods and restaurants around Toronto.

The flat is clean, well-equipped (Apple TV even, although we never found time to watch it, as we were mostly out and about), sunny, and comfortable, and a big highlight is the large and private deck in back. Kitchen is fully stocked with cookery. It's a cozy place (living/lounging areas are bedroom - there's a sofa as well as bed - and kitchen, which has small table and chairs), but priced for much less than we'd have paid for a much smaller hotel room without a kitchen or deck. We'd be happy to stay here again next time we're in town.
