Gary's place is amazing, 100% recommend it! Great location: a very peaceful and quiet block so you never get any outside noise and can sleep really well. It's a family/residential area so it felt very safe, especially important for any girls travelling alone. Notwithstanding, it's just 2/3 blocks away from major streets with lots of shops and public transport.
The room is super comfortable and private. You have the mini fridge and microwave to fix your meals, a small desk and chair, your private bathroom with shower, water dispenser (great so you don't have to buy bottled water). The water runs perfectly and hot in the shower and sink so you never have to be afraid of showering even in the coldest Toronto days (of which I had a few). The bed is really comfortable and warm, I slept like a baby.
Last but not least, Gary is a great host. He is so kind and friendly, ready to give you any advice you need, and his shop is literally a few steps away so you can reach him easily if needed.
I was super happy with my stay here. Thank you so much for everything Gary! All the best to you and your family :)
