Karen's little basement suite was a very nice, quiet and comfortable place to stay. We were able to walk to the central area of Toronto from her quiet neighbourhood in a little over an hour. When the walking was too much, she was very close to public transit including buses and the UP express. The neighbourhood seemed safe and it was comforting to have the family staying right on top of us in case of an emergency. The suite was very clean and came with a nice selection of coffee and tea. The only comment I have is that the vents from upstairs let a lot of noise travel from the upstairs to the basement. It was not too early in the morning however, so wasn't too disruptive! I would recommend this sweet as a place for family and friends to stay if ever they are in Toronto.
