Gabriel's place is a nice accommodation in a quiet neighbourhood near Toronto. It may seem rather expensive, but it is decently priced for the area. It is not a very luxurious place, but it is definitely sufficient if you are just there for a short time. There is no dedicated workspace at the location, but there is a small table that wobbles a bit. There is no microwave or a coffeemaker, but you can get warm food and coffee not far from the place. There is an oven, so heating a pizza is no problem.
If you are not travelling by yourself, keep in mind that the bathroom door has no lock and does not close that well either. You will hear some noise from the neighbours above, but it was not that bad or at unreasonable hours during my stay. Public transport is available, but I would suggest informing yourself before arriving because it may be a bit confusing from time to time. If you decide to use the car to get from Gabriel's place to Toronto, prepare to be stuck in traffic a lot - I mean A LOT.
