I definitely recommend Jose's place. Great location, you find yourself in a very interesting part of Toronto. Nice places around to get brunch, good activities at night and really not far from downtown using the street car right next to his place. The apartment is very cosy and charming. We didn't get a chance to see Jose but we have been warmly hosted by Shannel,his assistant and Brendon his son. Very nice people! They have been very helpful on every request we made. If I ever visit Toronto again, this is the place!
