We were warmly welcomed by Alex who is a very congenial host. We did not meet Galina. Our need for being in Toronto become quite complex so it was very nice to come back each evening to such a smart flat.
For even fit over 60's the walk to Eglinton Subway is definitely nearer 12 minutes than 7 but window shopping along the way may have added a minute or two. I felt completely safe coming home late on my own one evening. It is a very attractive suburb, and I loved looking at each individual garden and house and seeing how people really care about where they live. It was perfectly situated for our needs of hospital visiting downtown and family uptown.

Loved the shower in the flat, the bed was comfortable and the bedding was very good quality.

I did enjoy looking at all the linens in the bed and bathroom shop on Yonge St around the corner and we spent quite a bit in the sport's clothing store right on the corner. We did not eat out locally but there was certainly no shortage of many lively places to choose from if we had needed to.

We found the subway system easy to navigate and it was very efficient.
