Olya's apartment is amazing, can't recommend it enough! Olya was in touch with directions and transport info beforehand and met us in the building lobby at the time we'd agreed. The apartment is lovely and clean, well decorated with lots of art on the walls, and the terrace is great to relax on with a bottle of wine. There was even some bubbly waiting in the fridge for us, which was so nice after a day spent travelling. The location is great for a stay in downtown Toronto - you're right on Queen West for all the independent shops and restaurants, and a few minutes walk from the CN tower and the lake. Basically whichever way you strike out, you're in one of Toronto's many excellent neighbourhoods. And the subway is about 2 minutes away if you need to get further afield.

ps. Try the sushi from the dry cleaners downstairs!
