There are a lot of great restaurants. If you can't start your day without caffeine fear not, your nearby choices include Cosettee Coffee. Groceries can be found at Victoria Fruit Market which is a 4-minute walk and you'll find Dr D Krstich only steps away as well. For those days you just want to be indoors, look no further than Taras H Shevechenko Museum to keep you occupied for hours. You are a 9-minute walk from great parks like High Park and Bennett Park.

Without a car, you can get around rather easily. The closest transit stop is a Light RailStop (HOWARD PARK AVE AT INDIAN RD) and is a short walk, but there is also a Subway stop, DUNDAS WEST STATION - WESTBOUND PLATFORM, a 6-minute walk connecting you to the TTC. It also has (Light Rail) route 506 Carlton nearby. If you're driving, you'll have decent access to the rest of the city by way of Gardiner Expressway as well, which is within a few minutes drive using Dowling Ave ramps.
