David's place was very comfortable and well-appointed. The bed was great (and the bedroom dark, which really matters to us), and the kitchen the best-equipped and stocked that we've encountered.
Bloordale is a very cool up-and-coming area with a number of excellent dive bars, restos, and cafés, and a lot of eclectic shopping. Easy walking to more drinking and eating on College St.; and a subway station is only 3 min walk.
