Paul's place is a bit of a shock when you first arrive . We arrived later in the evening, dropped off our luggage, and proceeded to Queen St where there are plenty of places to sit and have food or drinks within a block or two; it appeared to be a little rougher of a neighborhood. Not once were we nervous for our safety and the people were quite friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better host than Paul. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and even stocked the kitchen so we did not have to worry about groceries. I would recommend this place to anyone. It is close to the streetcar, which is easy to use. I would suggest downloading the rocketman app for the ease of using Toronto Transit
