Paul was a super friendly host. He gave us useful recommendations for the neighbourhood that we really enjoyed, and we had a great time in his small garden suite. The room was a little stuffed so we had to squeeze to fit our relatively big suitcases. But the place was nicely decorated, clean and we had our own bathroom, so no problem at all. It was convenient to have our own entrance, and the Bloomingdale area was cool and safe and had great eating options. We really liked the Big Bear Cafe for breakfast. It's 5 min. away, and we recommend it for the lox bagel and for people watching.
