The apartment is clean with a new bed. Our hosts were terrific and on hand to care for you should you need it. ‘The Beaches’ is a great location in the heart of Toronto and within walking distance through leafy streets to the beach and esplanade on Lake Ontario. Literally around the corner are some of the more popular, cozy restaurants, bars, coffee- and ice cream shops plus good shopping on the same street. Easy access downtown by streetcar and to freeways by car. Street parking is workable with a bit of scheduling.
