Short walk from our place, this neighborhood is cute and quirky. There is a lot of street art to see on the way from our place to the Cabbagetown cotton mill lofts, and if you are there from 4-7 mon-thurs Carroll St Cafe has happy hour. (Half price tapas!)

City advice

Getting around

Don't walk on Boulevard

Especially at night, especially alone.. Boulevard isn't the best place to be.
