Tatiana's pad is perfect for the independent traveller. It's self-contained, super-comfy, with small dining table and large desk, the shower is most awesome too. The lock-up garage was a godsend, as I did not have to worry about street parking, just drive the rental car in and forget about it. Laundry facilities were easy to access and top-notch too.

The neighborhood is great, with an interesting, evolving mix of a Latino working suburb, but with arty funky shops, cafes and bars sprouting up along York just a mile away (the destination of my morning and evening strolls). It is a very friendly, safe neighborhood.

Tatiana was a very gracious host, happy to tell you about things to do and healthy yummy places to eat. Always available for information/encouragement, but also happy to let you do your thing as she is very busy with work. The cats however...one scratch behind the ears and they are your new best friends! They routinely wander downstairs when she goes to work and are happy to lounge around with you during the day.

In summary, a top-notch Air BnB place! After staying here a month, it definitely felt like a 'home away from home'.
