Our host was so wonderful with all the energy and enthusiasm of a 20-something. Also a great cook; breakfasts to die for and two candles lit on the table just for us. The area is, as per listing, right in the heart of downtown and we cycled safely for miles, though Toronto is not the best city in which to bike. Great public transit.
The room (about 10 x 10) is quite small (fortunately we are too) and with the bed, desk, etc. there's not much room left. But we spent most of the days out in the beautiful weather. Everything in the apartment was squeaky clean. A lovely experience. Would go back anytime. John and Emma.
