The location is fantastic. It's in the center of Toronto, a block from Spadina station, and a great deal is accessible simply by walking out the front door and down Bloor St.
The room is clean, cozy, and well-maintained. Also, Kris had very sweetly stocked it with more amenities than I could mention: an umbrella for if it rained, a gym bag (and free 3-day gym pass) for working out at the gym down the street, towels, tooth paste, shampoo, breakfast cereal, coffee, and much more! A fridge in the hallway had a large shelf for the guest, and was stocked with waters to take on daily adventures. Alls of this was a treat.
Kris was the best sort of host one could ask for. He was quick to reply to messages in coordinating the stay, enthusiastically helpful from the moment I arrived, well-organized, knowledgeable about the area, and made sure I knew my way around. He took me through each of the locks for the front door and room door, making sure I knew how to use them.
It gave me a big smile every time I got to see Kris during my stay. I'm glad to have gotten to stay with such a kind and graceful host.
