Faroo is a lovely host. I stayed at her place for a month while doing an elective at Sunnybrook. It's a 20 minute walk, or 5 mins by car.
There is plenty of street parking for a car, I used it daily with no concerns.
The area is safe and very beautiful, there's a calisthenics park nearby to get a quick workout in.
In about 10 minutes you can walk to Lawrence station.
Her place is probably better suited to shorter term rentals - given the limited kitchen availability, but at the price difference from other places in the area I justified eating a meal out every day.
I'd recommend Faroo as a host, she was lovely, and very kind.
