The basement suite is located very close to bloor street which host a huge selection of tiny markets, cultural restaurants and fast food joints. The house is also about a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway station. This was great as the subway is really all you need to reach all of Toronto's bigger attractions. The basement suite itself is nice and cozy; However, I would caution anyone over 5"8 tall. I am 5"7 and there are sections of the ceiling that hang a little lower where my head would just barely clear.
