I have two rooms for rent now and my location is close to Dow's Lake (between Preston St. and Carling Ave.) There is a Loeb near my house and bus stop, #3, is in front of my place so you can take bus #3 to downtown around 15 minutes and 10 minutes to Chinatown. Take bus #85 to OU around 15 minutes and less than 12 minutes to CU by O-train. If you are interested, please feel free to connect me at 852-1527 anytime. By the way, you can see some pictues of my place from my web-site
