Marty’s place in Kensington market area was a great retreat from the noise and bustle of the city. His apartment is the main floor/basement of an older duplex house in the Kensington Market area. It is on a quiet tree-lined street and yet minutes from great little cafes and restaurants, and the many food shops that this area has to offer. An easy walk to College, Spadina or Dundas for public transportation and easy walking to the downtown core. The apartment was obviously recently renovated and was impeccably clean. Wood floors, interesting art of the walls, books, a well outfitted kitchen and newly renovated bathrooms. There is one bedroom at the back of the house which walks out onto a little deck with its own smaller bath. This space is a bit cooler but was warmed up nicely with a space heater. The second bedroom and master bath is in the basement and both were very spacious. I was impressed with how quiet the back bedroom was. Marty was clear in his instructions for entry and in communication in general. I would definitely stay here again.
