Exactly as advertised, the house was bright, comfortable, and ideally located. Within a 1/2 hour walk from many of Toronto's attractions, it was a convenient home base for our family of first-time visitors. (The location is also convenient to the Dundas streetcar and the BIXI bike station at Bathurst, so we rarely had to drive during our week in the city.)

It was also a perfect spot for relaxing at the end of the day. Although we did enjoy Toronto's restaurants, we also loved having the option of dining in after shopping at Kensington Market or in Chinatown. For adults, the selection of books is interesting and eclectic, and for families (unlike ours) with younger children, there are plenty of toys and games available. The back yard (with seasonal vegetables for the picking) is private and tranquil.

Nathalie was accommodating and helpful before and during the trip, so we were were happy to finally meet her on our last day in Toronto!
