As a Toronto native who is now living abroad I can tell you this is a great location to stay and explore Toronto from. Laurence's place is a two-story house, which is great for comfort, quiet and privacy. If you are driving there is a (small) parking space out back, which is important in Toronto. If you don't have a car on your trip, there is easy access to subway and bus stations nearby. Laurence is a terrific host who is friendly and good with communication. Although another reviewer mentioned an issue with a cat note there are no pets living there now in case this is a concern for anyone. I would definitely stay here again.
