This is such a Kensington gem. My daughter and I came down for a whirlwind 24 hour thrift store spree and staying right on College at the top of Kensington made it super convenient. Because the apartment is right above the barber shop there is music that filters up until closing but that didn't bother us.
College St. is busy so be prepared to hear people, traffic, streetcars, etc. The space was clean, well appointed and has great character. The bed was comfortable and from what I saw in the kitchen, there was what you'd need to eat-in. The TV was a bit glitchy so I let Christopher know when I checked out.
I can'tover emphasize how nice Christopher and the guys at the barber shop are. They made check in smooth, answered all my questions and even lent me TTC fare (!!) when it looked like the weather was going to thwart our plans to walk. Parking was hard to come by during the day but around 4 pm spots opened up and I got one close to College on Borden.
Highly recommend!
