Alan's place is the perfect place to stay in downtown Toronto, in my opinion. Location wise, it is a 5 minute walk from Union Station and the Metro, and even closer to the Scotiabank Arena. It is on one of the upper floors, so the view is wonderful and the street noise is at a minimum at night. The design of the apartment is nice, in that the bed is partitioned off by sliding panels, so it can be easily utilized by two couples or parents/kids if needed. It is a great space for the solo traveler or couple. The kitchen is well-appointed and stocked. I highly recommend staying at Alan's place when visiting Toronto!
