We totally enjoyed our stay at Shirin's place (which was for a total of two months!)! Everything was super clean when we arrived & the house was super spacious (larger than it looks in the pictures). While the weather was very cold during some days, the house inside was always warm. Transportation to downtown is very convenient, but apart from downtown there are a few cool microbreweries in the area, the Dufferin mall where you can find almost anything & the 'hip' St Claire street where you can find lots of nice cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended!
