Where to stay in Dufferin Grove
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Two street edges set the choice. College Street runs the southern boundary of Dufferin Grove and carries College Street Baptist Church, while Bloor Street West closes the north and takes the main east-west traffic of this part of Toronto. Ossington Ave holds the eastern line.
Dufferin Street draws the western one, and the ground between the four is small enough that a bed anywhere inside it puts the Koffler Centre of the Arts within a walk.
