Not only is Jason a kind and attentive host, he is also an architect by profession, so what you get with this house is a beautiful and thoughtfully designed space with a distinctly modern but cozy feel. The house was immaculate and the neighborhood charming. The location is also super convenient and very walkable, there are no less than EIGHT Ethiopian restaurants, as well as Indian, sushi and Italian joints, and a big pharmacy/grocery store all within a five minute walk. If you rent a car like I did, there is a small parking lot literally steps from the house with cheap parking and always plenty of open spaces (and unheard of luxury when I go to other dense, older cities like New York/London/Paris). I now have a soft spot for Toronto, and feel like I got to experience an authentic slice of local life.
