Martin and Leslie were wonderful hosts and have an amazing place. They were more than accommodating when I asked to push the check-in time to a later hour(I was attending a conference and some colleagues asked me out for dinner). They pointed me in the right directions regarding where to eat, drink and hear music in their neighborhood. Their insights helped me discover some cool little spots that I might not have otherwise come across (aka Dundas and Ossington streets). Their neighborhood is safe, quiet, historic and hip. There are a bunch of little bars with live music and/or lively patrons who are easy to chat up, a number of art galleries (many were having openings the evening I strolled around), and restaurants abound. The Toronto bike share has a rental station within a 5 minute walk from Leslie and Martin's place on Queen and Ossington. It was fun to wander around their neighborhood on my way to and from the conference and discover old mansions and historic buildings. Leslie and Martin both have a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed our short chats about everything from the history of the neighborhood to how absurd sports are to their excessive couch situation (they were in the process of culling furniture after getting a new couch). They're very laid-back and friendly and I made me feel right at home, right away. They really helped to make my trip to Toronto wonderful and memorable. Their house is very clean, cozy and beautiful. The room I stayed in was perfect. It was clean, had a lot of little amenities (tv, books, wifi, coffee maker, even fresh fruit) and comfortable. I can't recommend a stay with these two fine folks in their wonderful home enough. Thanks Leslie and Martin!
