Why the Owner Chose Toronto
This is an absolutely great downtown Toronto location. A 6 minute walk (or 1 minute bus ride) to the Bloor subway and yet you are in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Everything is so very close by foot- food and boutique shopping- great ethnic restaurants- large park with pool and playgrounds. And with the subway so close you can get around to all the attractions and then come home to your own place, cook a meal or wander out again.
The Unique Benefits at this Short Term Apartment Rentals
All the benefits of a residential neighbourhood.
