We had such a wonderful time at Cristina's place! It was easy-to-find, private, and quiet. The space is incredibly well-organized (so much so that my spouse and I were taking notes on their use of space to try out at our place back home). It's a very walkable neighbourhood and close to the TTC if you want to hop on the subway.
If you're a big reader, I would recommend Seekers Books and BMV books, both on Bloor St. Definitely recommend Fat Pasha for dinner. :)
