We had a wonderful and convenient time at Josh's place - his place is in a very quiet residential area, very safe, but a bit of away from downtown if that's what you are looking for, but not that far by Uber or taxi (20 min) and about a 10 min. walk from the closest Metro Station on Christie. By Uber, It's between $16 - $20, by Metro $3.25 per person and by taxi, meter dependant (most espensive). A lot more economical than paying high $$$ hotels, in my humble opinion.There are maps, etc to help you get around. There are a few grocery stores nearby so you can cook some meals at home to save some money and you have everything (utensils) you need to make a meal. No butter, spices, milk, that kind of stuff, but if you are there for a few days, worth picking up at the local grocery stores (Fresh Farms, Loblaws, Sobey's).
