Deniz's house was an excellent option for a family stay in Toronto if you don't want to be in the downtown area -- plenty of room for kids, a great kitchen and backyard, a lovely street in a friendly, non-touristy Toronto neighborhood. A short walk (10 minutes) to the many stores on the Danforth, and to the subway downtown (about a 15-minute ride). I'd be happy to come back here the next time we're in town.
