I used to live in Toronto and was there for an academic conference and to see old friends. I stayed at Anne Marie's place for eight days, and things were very smooth. I only saw her when I showed up, and she was pleasant and laid everything out quite clearly. The place itself is nice and quiet, one of the classic Annex kind of old houses; rather than being in the heart of a particular neighbourhood, it is basically ten or fifteen minutes' walk from a bunch of them (which to me is much better) and is of course right next to the university, so a particularly handy place to stay if you've got business there. Excellent access to the airport and TTC and to a 24-hr grocery store in one direction and to the LCBO liquor store in the other direction.
