We arrived in Toronto by train and Dale's place is an easy 30 min walk, or 20 min by public transport. Dale greeted us and showed us how everything worked, we were given access to the kitchen and had space provided in the fridge. "Our" area of the house was clean, tidy, and spacious. It gave us privacy but didn't feel disconnected from the house meaning we could ask questions and advice freely. The use of the washer and closet to hang clothes was handy!
The surrounding area has shops and cafes, or a short walk takes you to the city centre. In some directions the area is a little 'rough' but felt safe even at night. A very pleasant stay and would I would stay here again.
