I had the best stay at Alison's house. The place is cozy, yet ample and so conveniently located in the city (whether it's for walking, TTC, or cycling). The area is brimming with great places to have food and beverages. I loved walking casually by the Dakota Tavern just a few buildings away and catching the sickest rock show, all by happenstance.
It is also worth noting: if one needs to get some work done, her home-office setup is perfect, with an extension monitor and a very comfortable chair.
Needless to say, I'll definitely check with her for vacancy whenever I visit Toronto again.
