We enjoyed our stay at Penny’s. The location worked for us as we enjoy walking and it was within walking distance (10mins) of the subway and easy access to downtown. It was also a short walk to the arboretum and Jamaica pond for the parkrun (a passion of ours when we are travelling. The room on the second floor was clean and had lovely views of the trees. We had access to the kitchen to make breakfast - Penny provided some breakfast basics.
The shower was great.
The neighbourhood is very authentic away from the tourist centre with great places to eat.
