Was looking for a bit of info/advice on accommodation. I'm going to Montreal in October and I'm planning on spending a few days in Toronto sightseeing (Niagra, Downtown etc). Anyway Montreal is sorted, my uncle's settled there and between him, his wife and brother-in-law I have the whole chauffeur, guide and translator sorted.
I'm really looking for some recommendations of bed and breakfasts or the like in downtown Toronto. I've got a few from the guides but was looking for some personal experience.
Also any tips on what to do in Montreal/Toronto other than the real touristy stuff would be appreciated.
Cheers, any help gratefully received.

Me and my girlfriend. We're travelling from October 2 to 23 (I think!). Planning on having a couple of days in Toronto and have a day at Niagra during that. I know there's the Black & Blue festival and there's also a Film Festival near the end of our stay. Am going to check out a couple of the rough guides books at the library but was wanting a little local perspective.
