Had an amazing time staying with Giselle and her family. We shared some great laughs and conversations. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in. It was a cozy, clean and a comfortable place. Private washroom that is clean and the shower is fantastic. Kitchen is great and has anything you might need. Giselle is kind and thoughtful host with a great sense of humor, always making sure that I was comfortable. Highly recommend this place for sure.
The location is great and perfectly safe to walk around. Saint Claire ave is a 2min bus ride away, which is a great location to find some great artisan stores. Grocery store and pharmacy is really close by. Great when its - 20c. Subway is a 12min walk and a 3min bus ride away. The bus stop is steps away. Use the "Rocket App" for real time bus locations! It takes about 30 - 40 min to get right downtown, which is the norm in Toronto but the system is pretty convenient in my opinion. As the Toronto transit system is efficient and you can always catch a bus, street car or train within 10min intervals. Not bad at all.
All and all a cozy place to stay, in a convenient location.
