The lovely neighborhood is filled with squirrels, birds and even the occasional raccoon. The beach is a short walk down the street, with a lovely boardwalk to an adjacent park. Walking the other direction the same distance you find international restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment in small beach city spots. Notice I speak of walking, safely, confidently until late into the evening, surrounded by kind, helpful residents. As a woman traveling alone, it was a welcome change of pace.
Robert, my host, offered a bounty of information about local services and attractions. This trip was for business, my next trip will be for fun. There is so much to do here!
Robert's place is cozy with great internet. The kitchen is full service with quality accouterments. The bed is divine. You will have access to the full-size laundry, which is great with the beach down the street.
Be sure to try the three chocolate shops on Queen Street. https://www.google.com/search?q=chocolate+shop+in+the+beaches&oq=chocolate+in+beachs+&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l3.13180j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Whatever you do, be sure plan to stay an extra day because you will wish for the time to do those things you didn't realize would call to you.
Otherwise, you will be like me, wishing for another day to play at The Beaches, Toronto.
Cheers to happy traveling!
