On arrival we found breakfast and food in the fridge for our first needs. All information was also available on the table in the livingroom and we felt us very welcome in her home. The connections with public transport to downtown were good. Buses and streetcar were in the street. Subway at walking distance. Beaches were an attraction as such and at a nice walk away. The apartment is situated outside the city center in a peaceful area. We had a great stay in Toronto and hope to welcome Susie in the Netherlands sometime.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
I'm located a short walk to Lake Ontario, beaches, a long boardwalk and popular Queen St. which is filled with shops, restaurants and bars.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From my home, it is just a short 15-minute walk (through a beautiful ravine if you like) to the boardwalk, beaches, lake, outdoor swimming pool, and the restaurants, pubs, and shopping on popular Queen St. Right outside my home are also good bars, restaurants and an organic food supermarket. There's easy bus, streetcar, and subway access to take you downtown and to Greektown, Chinatown, and Little India. Toronto has great theatre, music, art and architectural attractions as well as the CN tower, Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, Casa Loma, Ripley's Aquarium, Toronto Zoo and Science Centre. Buy a Toronto CityPASS from this website https://www.citypass.com/toronto which will let you see most of the above major attractions for one low fee. The site also contains quick links to the mentioned attractions. A car is not necessary and using public transit (cheap and safe) is actually the better way to get around and see Toronto. Uber and Lyft taxi service is also plentiful and cheap.
