Gail is absolutely wonderful and so is the house she's made available for us travelers. She was always very prompt with any communication before and during the stay and had suggestions for lots of things in digital and physical form. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and has loads of very nice niceties to use during your stay. The location is great. It's a nice and quiet street so you can relax while you're there, but also very close to all the fun stuff a short walk away. Trolleys are all of 2 blocks away. If you forgot to bring something along, Gail's already thought of it and will likely have something to tide you over.
Location-wise, It's about a 10 minute walk to West Queen West, a 10-15 minute trolley ride to Old Toronto, a 20 minute trolley ride to Koreatown, a 20-30 minute trolley + subway ride to the ROM. The trolleys and subways are very user-friendly and easy to navigate. We used our phones for navigation, but everyone seemed friendly if we were to need directions. We only drove one time while in Toronto and that was for an outing to the Beaches. It was about 25 minutes to Balmy Beach (the furthest one).
For people traveling with a kids, there's a bunch of dolls/books/legos/games/activity books to augment whatever you may or may not have brought with you. Our 5-year-old had a great time with them. There's also a giant TV to enjoy.
If you're a runner/walker, the waterfront is ~1k away and you can go east towards the Harbourfront or west Coronation Park / Trillium Park / Ontario Place or both directions if you're feeling up for it. You could do between 5k - 15k depending on your loop. Or run through the neighborhoods. Just watch out for the trolley tracks.
We had a great time and would love to stay again if we're back in Toronto. Thank you Gail!
