Andrew's place is in the heart of Queen St. West, one of the most fun and interesting neighborhoods. The building is new and full of younger 20-somethings as well as older professionals. The apartment itself is clean and modern. It is equipped with all the essentials: dishwasher, washer/dryer, stove and oven.

The neighborhood has plenty of great local businesses. To the west on Queen is the Tibetan part of town (known for momos and other treats). I like to work out of cafes and coworking spaces, and there are several within walking distance. Check out Plentea for great sweetened teas. The Theatre Center Cafe has an upstairs roof deck with comfy chairs and WiFi. Grab a Yerba Mate from El Almacen. Take a walk to the Harley Davidson Cafe on Ossington and take a workshop on the workings of an engine, or ride one of the bikes. I could go on. This part of Toronto is a unique and excellent corner of the world.

Andrew is a gracious, generous, attentive, and accommodating. He travels himself and is interesting and insightful. Definitely someone worth meeting and knowing, no less an awesome host.
