Like Gisèle says, do not book this place expecting luxury. The shared bathroom is not guaranteed to be clean, and the room is quite plain. However, this was a great place to stay. A city bike dock is a block away, and the bike path down Shaw will take you to DuPont, Bloor, Queen, King, and almost directly to the shore. If you want an affordable place in a great location with a good sense of privacy and security, book this place. Casa Loma is a walk away, and so are some great parks.
