Richard's place was...so so... The bed in the TV room was uncomfortable. Itt was in a good place to get around the city fast. Around 20 minutes walking distance from the CN tower.
The shops in the area are great. As long as you explore around the apartment.
I recommend the African music shop which is a 30 second walk from the apartment. There is also a absolutely lovely Hispanic Brazilian food store just up the road. Amenities are all close by such as laundry and groceriy stores.
I was not expecting a quite hour is 10pm.... But it was manageable. Please keep in mind that there are 2 more apartments in the building. They can be loud upstairs.
Also the stove is electric and extremely slow! Like 25 minutes to boild a pot of water.
Lastly filter all of your water from the tap.
