This is wonderful apartment in a lovely neighborhood. The rooms are spacious and work well. For example, there's a good-sized closet in the bedroom, night tables on both sides of the bed, and a chest of drawers that will easily hold a week's clothing for two. The living room has adjustable lighting, making it possible for one or two to read and others to watch the Netflix-enabled TV. We cooked some good breakfasts from the food we had bought at a nearby mom-and-pop grocery: the refrigerator is roomy and the kitchen is completely outfitted.

And then, there's the neighborhood. Mike told me that High Park (two blocks away) is Toronto's largest, extending all the way to Lake Ontario. Once we saw its lushness and broad paths, Zsuzsa and I couldn't resist walking down to the beach to watch local volleyballers and dragon boaters.

The Bloor St. Subway is about five minutes away, a fifteen or twenty-minute ride to the central north-south streets. (We were able to park our car on the safe streets of the High Park neighborhood with an easily obtained permit from the city.)

I could go on. In short, though, it's a great place. Mike is friendly but doesn't insist on connection. The apartment felt like it was ours. We'd love to stay here again on our next visit to Toronto.
