Melissa's place is great value for money. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Toronto by public transit. It is also close to restaurants, pubs, a local cinema, the lake and High Park. We really didn't eat in, but the kitchen amenities would be perfect for re-heating or snacks. The bed is really comfortable and the lounge area is also very comfortable. We arranged parking on the street - inexpensive and we had no trouble getting a park close by.
