I have just returned home from a two night stay at Emil's home. We were two young females traveling to Toronto on our own for the first time. We were looking for accommodations that were central to everything and safe. Emil's house provided all of that and more. It was very easy to find (we flew to the Billy Bishop airport) and close enough to walk. Emil met us there and was so very welcoming! He gave suggestions for places to see and things to do. His room was very comfortable! We both have dietary needs and we're happy to be able to buy some groceries at a store nearby and use the fridge and toaster oven provided for our food. We happily ate breakfast out in the garden every morning, it was so relaxing! We were able to walk everywhere that we went from the house and felt very safe even at night! I would recommend Emil's house for anyone looking for a place to stay in downtown Toronto and will stay there again when I return to Toronto!
