We loved saying at Ryan's place - it was attractive, clean, comfortable, convenient, and really well set up for easy city-living for our group of 5 adults. Ryan answered all our queries promptly before we arrived and kept in touch to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. It was good to meet and say hello in person on our final day.

Things we really appreciated were the extremely comfortable beds, the well equipped kitchen (with great range-style cooker and coffee-maker), large comfy sofa, plenty of nice towels and the bonus of the sunny deck (we ate breakfast outside on most days as the October temperatures were very kind). When the temperature dipped the heating worked well too.

We chose Ryan's place partly for its location and it was perfect. The house is just on the edge of Kensington Market in a nice quiet street. This area is great for artisan bakeries; cheese, fruit and vegetable shops; quirky boutiques; funky cafes and very reasonable restaurants. We lived like locals and highly recommend this area for vegetarians/vegans - all other diets were well catered for too!

The location is also really convenient for accessing the rest of the city on foot if like us you enjoy this. The Art Gallery of Ontario is just down the road - and great shops and nice parks are a stroll away. For part of the time we were attending a conference near the CN tower which was an easy 25 minute walk away. Trams stop at the end of the street too.

We would definitely return to Ryan's place if we are lucky enough to visit Toronto again and highly recommend Ryan as an attentive host.
