This was a perfect place to stay. Comfortable and with all the necessities plus a very welcoming and homely feel. I was attending the Society of Animation Studies conference and wanted a place to stay with like minded creative people. Gisele and Archer were perfect hosts. Relaxed, welcoming and interesting, with endless useful insights into the local and wider areas. Gisele gave a clear local map with useful places to check out! I was able to come and go freely without any worries or concern. The place is in easy walking distance of Little Italy, Kensington Market and all the Queens Road West at cafes and bars. But most of all near to the streetcars, the 501 on the Queens West runs all night and as a woman on my own I had no worries at all being at a conference right down on the Lakeshore, going out and about and getting home safe. Toronto is a great place to visit... and there's tons to do and see. As a great momento check out Lynn Golding on the streets of Kensington Market at the weekend, she makes fantastic prints of her meticulously researched and hand drawn mandalas of Toronto districts and history! I got one of the Queens West. All in all this was the best of experiences. Biggest recommendation to all who love the creative world and love to share stories...
