We stayed at Christian’s place on the way through Toronto to parts further on in SW Ontario, and it was just what we needed. As his listing suggests, it’s just right for that sort of thing, or a short stay in the city. (I would definitely think of it for conference travel.) We didn’t stay long enough to do much exploring in the neighbourhood, but it seems very walkable and quite fun! (As an infrequent visitor to the city, it was nice to be able to say, “Oh, so that’s where Greektown is!” :) )
