Sean's place is quite close to the heart of Toronto; I could get to anywhere I wanted to go to (mostly tourist places, you know) with 20 bucks through Uber. Didn't have much experience with the public transit though.
Parkdale is not a neighborhood as neat as I expected, but it has many convenient stores and is pretty quiet.
Sean was at home when we checked in and checked out, and responded our messages quick. His place was clean and well-equipped; we could even do some quick cooking.
Compared the crazy rent prices here in Vancouver, I'd say Sean's price definitely worth the price.
