Andrew has a little oasis in Beaches. The lake is a just a couple blocks away, and there are many fine restaurants that you can stroll to that includes Georgian, Latin and Mediterranean fare, as well as a sweet, little spot around the corner from Beach United Church called Juice & Java Cafe, where I ate most of my breakfasts.
The basement apartment is well appointed - a comfy bed, a solid kitchen and a functional bathroom stocked with awesome shea butter-based body soaps. The location is at the end of a quiet residential street.
