True craftsmen created this 5,000-square-foot house and it shows in every enchanting nook and cranny, in the high plastered ceilings, and in the richly aged hardwood floors. Rooms at this gay-friendly inn are airy and open, with bathrooms delightfully accented by sleek pedestal sinks. A kind of nostalgic funkiness blends 19th-century antiques and a wood-burning fireplace with modern pieces. Breakfasts brim with home-baked goods, hot cereals, and omelets. It's within walking distance of High Park, Toronto's largest green space, and the white sands of Sunnyside Beach; a 10-minute drive takes you downtown. Pros: safe and comfortable neighborhood, excellent breakfasts, well-appointed rooms and common areas. Cons: rates based on two-night stay, old heating system may have problems, no Internet access.
