Melanie's place was ideally located close to union station, which is a major hub that gets you around anywhere within and beyond Toronto (e.g. the UP express provides a convenient mode of transport to the Pearson airport, which is helpful as traffic going out of downtown could be terrible). The vicinity was also very walkable and lots of shops and restaurants around. Melanie was an exceptional host; she is super responsive and finds every way to make your stay more comfortable - all you have to do is ask. As I stayed for a month, the cleaners that come in between are amazing; they always make the place sparkling clean and left everything so neat and tidy.
