The home is about 15-20 min away from "down town" Toronto by car. Public transportation is near by, but we opted to take the car and pay the parking in Toronto. With weekend parking rates it was cheaper than TTC transit system. I strongly recommend going to Humber Bay for a short excursion if you are staying with Maggie. The view is breath taking! Maggie is a great host and I highly recommend her. I shall be booking with her again in the future.
