Keir's loft is in a vintage building and he's managed to combine the charms of Victorian architecture with a series of thoughtful modern comforts that let the space feel cozy and sleek at the same time. The building is well-situated, steps from a number of attractions and amenities including Loblaws, the University of Toronto, the Ontario Gallery of Art and the Royal Ontario Museum. Even closer, you'll find The Hair of the Dog Pub just downstairs. Keir was gracious enough to provide a gift certificate and his pub's staff proved to be friendly and informative. The pub is clearly beloved by the community (several of our cab drivers knew the place by name) and proved itself to be a great place to begin or end an evening out.
The neighborhood is very walkable and there's quite a bit of local color on display but, if your business takes you outside the area, transit options abound in the form of cabs, uber, and public transportation.
I'm certainly hoping to take advantage of Keir's incredible hospitality on future trips to Toronto.
