The Host: Lissa was fantastic. Lightning quick replies throughout the entire process. She was really helpful in getting us set up in the neighborhood - what to do about parking, recommendations for bars & restaurants, that type of thing.

The Listing: There are three lockable doors between where you stay and the street. Really decent square footage for a place in the city. You'll have the entire floor with your own entrance, which is a big plus. The photos provide an accurate representation.

The Neighborhood: Safe part of town. Situated between Dundas and College so it is really easy to get around by streetcar if need be. Lots of cool places to eat and drink nearby. If you like pastel de natal, one of the better Portuguese bakeries is literally right around the corner.
