For travellers who know Toronto, or know cities generally and are comfortable with public transit, this is a superbly situated house. Although just off of major arteries, it is in fact on a quiet residential street. The Broadview station, a block away, not only places you on the subway, but is also a terminus for very handy streetcar and bus routes. The Danforth neighbourhood, of course, is a wonderful part of town. The city still on a human scale.
As for the accommodation, it is a basement flat and that might be an issue for some. The decor is eclectic and ingenious and well considered. The bed is – well, you're not at home but you knew that before you set out. It's ok. A plus for this visitor was a bathtub, usually I have to make do with a shower when away from home. Arlene was a good and attentive host. I'd certainly stay there again.
