I stayed a week in the winter at Julie's apartment. It was a great Stay. quiet neighborhood close to downtown with street car and bus passing all the time close by. place is compact, good for 2 people long term but takes up to 4 people short term. It is like a home away from home. intricate lighting fixtures everywhere. fully stocked kitchen. you can cook recipes from food network if you want. Julie and John have a little booklet with all the info you will need about local places close by. Julie also welcomes you to use any perishables or spices available which is very generous from a host. She was a fast responder to my communication and had answers to any questions I had during the whole stay. I would stay again if I come back to Toronto.
