Barbara’s place is perfect! I stayed there for a month in between different moves, and Barbara was an incredibly welcoming host the entire time. I felt right at home. And the space is immaculate—just as in the photos, though bigger/more spacious in real life. The neighborhood is also wonderful—not too close to downtown, and with plenty of shops and parks (and farmers’ markets, and weekend street festivals) nearby. I’m already planning to go back and stay with there when I need to return to Toronto in the fall!
