We had a fantastic stay at John's house! We were traveling with two young children and the location was ideal for us. The most amazing park/playground/splash pad with stunning city views is just down the street. The neighbour hood is lovely for strolling around. We visited, "The Riverdale Perk" daily. The home is on a beautiful tree lined street but the shops, cafes and restaurants of the Danforth are less than 5 minute walk. The subway is also only 5 minutes away with quick and easy access to the rest of the city. This is a great location in terms of being central but still getting the neighbourhood feel.
The home itself was very well equipped. The grocery store is 5 minutes away and the kitchen has everything you need to cook at home.
John was a great host and easy to communicate with. I hope it's available next time we visit Toronto!!
