Athena's place is nearby a supermarket (Giant Tiger) and a coffee shop (Tim Horton's). TTC subway and bus stop to the city is also less than 5 minute's walk. If you want to shop, the listing is surrounded by shopping paradises accessible via the TTC within 20 minutes. The listing is also located in a safe, quiet area dotted with restaurants ran by different ethniticities, like Filipino, Sri Lankan, Chinese, Indian, and Malay, to name a few. You won't have the same to eat every time. The only downside, the listing is about an hour away from downtown. However, TTC is a very reliable way to get there. I would definitely recommend Athena's listing.
