Wyns place is situated ideally if you are looking to explore anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area that is accessible by public transport - mainly the TTC and GO. Lansdowne station is a 3 min walk and the Bloor UP station is a 10 min walk. For my 2 week visit, it was good value. Wyns housemates are semi-permanent and multi-cultural, and a lot of fun to hang out with (no holds barred!).
Wyn is an experienced host, and I'd recommend his place for a short visit to the GTA!
Quick note - streetlights are not bright enough at night in the neighborhood. Just exercise good judgement.
