I stayed at Janine's place together with her, her husband and daughter for around 2,5 months.
I appreciated the support during my stay e.g. hints what to do and how to get there (I regularly found short notes on the stairs to the 3rd floor). Still, we left each other enough privacy.
There are a bus and a streetcar station in front of the house that made it very easy to reach spots in the city centre. I also liked to go jogging along the wonderful harbour front that can be reached in a max. 15 minutes walk from Janine's place.
Even though the location is ideal the rent is convenient in comparison to the prices of housing in Toronto. Nearby are also pizza, burger and kebab places as well as Indian restaurants, mini-, and fruit markets.
