Martin and Leslie made me feel very welcome in their home. The house is beautifully renovated, and the top floor 'suite' was spacious, light, and comfortable. Although the shower was shared with the owners, I had my own washroom, a fridge, television, lots of books, dvds, music, etc. as well as welcoming (and welcome) fruit and chocolate pieces. The neighbourhood was active, but friendly, and within walking distance of the fast-changing Queen West and Dundas West hip shops and restaurants. A bit noisy when the bars closed, and parking is almost impossible if you drive (I didn't), but I had access to transit and parks and interesting strolls. Breakfast was basic but suited me - cereals, juice, great coffee (as well as a coffee maker in my room) and toast, etc. Martin made sure I had what I needed, newspaper, etc. and chatted a bit but not overmuch (which I also appreciated). The one challenge, for the less fit, is the three floor climb to the room; that said, Martin lugged my luggage up and down so that part wasn't an issue; just the aerobic challenge of vertical ascension for lungs not too used to that:)
