The apartment is not only aesthetically pleasing, but extremely well-equipped, quiet, with a very comfortable big bed and nice backyard. I loved having breakfast in the sunny kitchen with huge skylight. Marty is a very congenial host, unobtrusive, but right there if you have any questions. Really, I was so impressed! As soon as you step out the door, you're in a totally different, lively world (Kensington Market), sort of like 1970s Berkeley or San Francisco, but right in the center of things, so that the museums and other Toronto attractions are all easily accessible by foot or public transportation. Marty's place is special — highly recommended.
