Leslie was an amazing host and her home was very nice to stay in. Her neighborhood has several shops and eating options, including vegan options, within walking distance. The bus that takes you into downtown Toronto was just a short walk from her home and it's a pretty quiet neighborhood. If you are a cat lover you will have a great time as she has 4 cats and they are all very sweet. Leslie was very responsive and accommodating to my requests and made my first visit to Toronto a great one!
