Paul was an excellent host. He was easy to contact, checked in with us, and was very accommodating with respect to logistics. Arrival was made easy by the food he left in the kitchen. The apartment was clean and well maintained.
We love the neighbourhood, although we might be a bit biased. Within a few blocks there are many restaurants, bars, a brew pub, a grocery store, and shopping. Unlike some other neighbourhoods, they are very few franchise/chain establishments, its all independent owners. It is a bit of a walk to the subway, but through a nice old neighbourhood, and its easy to catch a bus to a station for those who would rather not walk.
I very highly recommend this for visitors who are happy to not be right downtown, but enjoy up and coming neighbourhoods with lots of character.
