I stayed with Anka for two weeks this summer. Her place is spacious and clean, in a quiet and scenic neighbourhood, a stone's throw from parks and public transit. It's super easy to get to the down town core. But even closer to home there are tourist friendly spots to explore and loads of cute cafes and restaurants a short walk (on DuPont and also on St. Clair). The area has something for everyone! Anka is a very kind host and her neighbours are lovely and friendly people too. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfy - I had some of the best sleeps of my summer there! I would highly recommend Anka as a host and I'm definitely booking her if I need a place to stay in Toronto in the future.
