Great place to stay! First of all, Anka is a wonderful host, I can't say that enough. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, it's probably less than 10 minutes walking to St Claire Metro Station which takes you to downtown Toronto and there's a Loblaws grocery store above the station so I was able to get my breakfast and late night snacks for the week. It's about 2 blocks away from Casa Loma which is nice to see day or night and admission is included on the CityPass. The apartment building is old but Anka has made it very nice and cozy inside. The bed was comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet, I didn't even hear noise from the other tenants in the building. I would definitely stay again!
