Alvaro's flat is clean, well presented, very well equipped and handy for visitors to Toronto. We were visiting my Mum who lives a 5 minute walk away and her house was too full for the whole family, so we stayed here. Alvaro's father gave us a friendly, informative, comprehensive welcome, and any question I had both then and during the stay was quickly answered. We were there during a very hot period (up to 35C during the days) and the flat doesn't have air conditioning, but each room was equipped with an efficient fan. The flat is on the ground floor, so would be handy for anyone with mobility issues.
The location was extremely convenient for us -- the number 78 bus is a 30 second walk from the building, and it takes you straight down to York Mills subway station. The 401 (major highway) is quite close, but the windows are well made and the noise didn't disturb us. We spent most of our days at my Mum's house so we didn't use the balcony, but I should imagine it would be a lovely spot to sit and have your morning cup of coffee as it looks out onto a large park-like area.
I would recommend this flat to anyone keen to visit Toronto, but who would want a place a bit further out from the city centre.
