Thierry's place is as advertised. Vibrant, quirky, artistic. The neighborhood is great, close to public transportation, easy to find from the highway. The apartment was clean, the bed was amazingly comfortable, and she isn't kidding about the water pressure. Thierry's place was totally worth it for me. One note of caution. Walking from Thierry's place to downtown would be difficult. Using the TTC is easy, but you won't be able to walk out your front door and be in the heart of the city. That was fine for us and properly advertised...just worth mentioning.
