I was visiting the University of Toronto, and wanted a place to stay that was not too close and not too far (so I'd get to see the city for a bit). Sidney's place is a nice walk from the university, and one has a choice of walking through lively streets or residential neighborhoods. City bikeshare is available though I didn't use it.
Sidney's place is short walk to a couple of grocery stores, not far from a subway stop, and to restaurants. The room is clean and had everything I needed. Sidney is a gracious and thoughtful host -- I had forgotten to bring a computer charger and she found for me to use durng my stay! The house itself is old, so sound does travel, but Sidney has been quite considerate in checking in during my stay to make sure that wasn't an issue.
