The Emily Carr suite at 21 Rose is an excellent place to stay in Toronto. The apartment is beautifully decorated with some incredible pieces of art by Jane, huge bathroom, a kitchen with everything you need and a lovely sun room. When I got to 21 Rose there was an amazing loaf of bread, coffee, and organic milk waiting for me, as well as soaps, clean towels and linens.
Cabbagetown is great area to stay in Toronto as well. It has everything; parks, grocery, hardware store, beer store, restaurants, coffee shops (Jet Fuel has a great ice coffee), a market, organic grocery, pubs and is a place where people clearly care about their community.
Jane was a warm, kind and thoughtful host. I enjoyed having chats with Jane throughout the month. Jane is incredibly interesting and it was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to have met her.
I highly recommend 21 Rose. Location is perfect, community is lovely and the host made sure it was the best stay it could be.
