I ended up extending my stay at Daria's when the repairs at my house were delayed. Daria's place has helped make an inconvenient disruption into almost a mini-vacation because it is a fun and non-typically Toronto spot that is a nice departure from all the cookie-cutter condos out there. A bright (if you want) airy wide open space that is nicely funtional as well. You should be aware the entry is up a metal industrial type staircase and the house itself might be a bit 'urban' for some. Quite enjoyed it myself as well as the close proximity to great food options on Spadina and Baldwin.
