Jose is a gracious host who will welcome you with open arms in his amazing warehouse loft in little portugal. The neighborhood is about 20 minutes by bus from the center (downtown) or a 10-15 minute bikeride. Hip Kensington Market is about halfway b/w little portugal and downtown. There are plenty of bars and cafes around the airbnb and getting there via public transport is incredibly easy.
We had an amazing time in Toronto, thanks to Jose and the wonderful people of Canada and will definitely be coming back!
