Duncan’s place was a lovely, cozy retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Nestled in a tree-lined residential area, it was a great way to experience the Leslieville area of Toronto as the locals do. We really enjoyed the loft, and the heating was more than adequate for the space. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, without all of the overhead and craziness of a hotel. Everything felt new and well-cared-for. Definitely take note however that by staying here you are essentially renting a tiny home. While this was a great experience for a still young (if not yet middle-aged) couple like us, the narrow spiral staircase and low (5 foot-ish) ceiling in the loft is not for everyone. But we loved it and hope to be able to rent this space again on a future return to Toronto.
While in the area, we recommend checking out Black Lab Brewing and Avling for local craft beer, Loblaws for your grocery needs, and Frankie’s Italian for dinner.
