We had a fantastic stay at Olya's apartment! We really appreciated the thoughtful touches Olya put into hosting us and communicating with her was quick and easy. The apartment itself is lovely, and we enjoyed a beer on the patio after a long day of sight-seeing. The location of Olya's apartment is second to none. The shops, bars and restaurants of Queen Street West and King Street West are around 10 minutes away and you can walk to the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre in about the same. You are right in the heart of downtown in this apartment which proved to be an excellent base for us to explore Toronto. There is also a car hire place at the bottom of Simcoe Street which allowed us an easy way to travel out to Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake and wine country which were all beautiful and a really great day out. My top tips would be to make sure to catch a Jays game (if it's the right season) and make time to travel across to the islands via the ferry - you can hire bikes and take in Toronto's skyline from the lovely greenery of the parks on the islands.
