TJ has an adorable and friendly cat and dog. You will love them even though you are not a cat/dog person. He has a lot of plants and exotic decorations so you might not feel like the place is super clean like a hotel overall. However, the place is cozy and feels like home. We felt welcomed and the family of the host was so kind.
It has some good restaurants, a river trail within walking distance, and a nearby bus stop (TTC 165).
