Heidi has a pretty cool flat in hip Parkdale, very close to the lake with nice walkways (killer view on downtown Toronto at night!) that you shouldn't miss out. The room is small but very nice and indeed has a neat view. It got a little warm in the morning with the sun shining in, but it's all right with the fan that is in the room.
Heidi is a very kind host, we got to chat about traveling, and even watched a movie in the evening with a glass of wine. Very very nice Toronto-experience!
