Jode's place was perfect for our needs , in every possible respect. We spent four nights there in the midst of an intense Toronto heatwave, bu the air conditioning and well-positioned fans meant that we always returned to a cool house, regardless of how hot our daily exertions had gotten us. The location of the house is ideal. In the middle of a very nice neighborhood, in the process of gentrifying but not aggressively so, with nice cafés and restaurants at a stone's throw in just about every direction. The house is across the street from Christie Pits, which is one of Toronto's biggest parks (and has a great free pool), a block from one of the nicest grocery stores in the city, and a block in the other direction from the Christie subway station. The house itself was perfectly appointed: very nicely renovated, well-equipped kitchen, 3 comfy bedrooms, and a lovely garden with a deck (which we unfortunately could not use, because of the heat). A lovely stay in all respects. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat if my travels get me back to Toronto with the family.
