My husband and two teenage sons were very comfortable at John's house. We had plenty of room and felt quite at home. We especially loved the beautiful backyard for eating dinner, playing cards and just relaxing. John met us when we arrived early in the morning with fresh croissants! The house is a little distance from downtown Toronto but the subway is close by, the bus is on the corner, or you can get bikes at the bikeshare at the end of the block by the park. The neighbors are lovely as well, inviting us to join them for wine and cheese. All in all a very welcoming place to stay. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit Toronto!
