Lina's place is beautiful in a beautiful and centrally located neighborhood, close to multiple transit options (I was using them everyday); Kensington Market for yummy food, pubs and vintage stores; as well as College Street with a must try new restaurant, Quetzal, only a 3 minute walk away. As promised, even with its central location it is quiet. A serene oasis amidst the city. Lina is a wonderful host whom I had numerous fun and intelligent conversations with at night when we had all finished with our days. I was there for business and as such was going to bed in the basement room before Lina and her roommate. Because it is a basement suite, the footsteps and conversation can be heard; however, this is nothing that a pair of ear plugs can't cure. And Lina's place is certainly worth it! Everything you needed was there. A wonderfully appointed kitchen, a lush back patio and your own bathroom en suite made my business trip so much nicer.
