Very quiet area, travelled alone and felt safe in the room and neighbourhood. Queen street just a block up. Easy walk to the core of downtown, a bit of a walk for where I was working, Ryerson University. Emil was a very attentive host who answered all emails quickly and gave good suggestions on restaurants nearby. Would recommend it for a single person or a couple who will be busy hanging out in Toronto. The backyard garden made the location that much more special. A little oasis in busy TO.
