We arrived by train from Montreal at Union Station in Toronto about 3 PM on a Wednesday. It was a very pleasant walk to get to Keir's home. Church and Wood street corner is a great location in the Toronto "Village". We were welcomed by the manager of the downstairs pub Jason who gave us the keys, directed us to the unit, and offered his assistance if we had any questions. Jason gave me an envelope from Keir which included a welcoming note and two $25 gift cards for the pub. Very nice added touch! When I opened the door to the unit and peaked inside, I said to my partner "you're going to really like this place". We both were immediately impressed. The place really feels like a home - very comfortable. Great living room, kitchen, adjoining bedroom/office, bathroom with stacked washer/dryer. Bed super comfy and restful. Nice street below views. For being above a pub, the place was amazing quiet and relaxing. We ended up visiting the "Hair of the Dog" twice and very much enjoyed the food and drink. Very easy as a base to travel around the city, and either rent a car or do a bus/train trip to Niagara Falls. Uber works well also around the city.
We had a great time for 4 days/nights in Toronto, wonderful city!
