    Staying at Casa Tara was very special and helped a lot to make my stay in Canada as comfortable as possible. The place is large and well ventilated, with a bedroom, living room, individual bathroom and a small adapted kitchen. The room is very close to the metro (Sheppard-Yonge) and access to the sites is very easy. The neighborhood is quiet and very beautiful… take the opportunity to see the squirrels. Tara is very kind and always helps with whatever you need. Tara's dog Frankie is very polite and happy, so cute. I loved being able to spend this month with you. To the next!!!

    Tara is very hospitable, she does everything for you to feel comfortable. The house has a great location, safe and quiet neighbourhood, there is a subway nearby: straight line to the Union station, downtown Toronto. There are grocery stores nearby. The room is cozy, with a mini-kitchen. Thank you very much

    I think it is important to note that the basement is open to the rest of the house, it is not closed off and there is no door. There is a door on the bedroom, but it does not have a lock. This openness affects privacy and noise levels as the living room where the family watches tv is at the top of the stairs, as well as the front door of the house. Although the house rules request minimum noise especially between the hours of midnight and 9am, I experienced the host, family and friends coming home between the hours of 1230am and 2am on several occasions during my stay. This Homestay is perhaps better suited for someone who stays up later and rises a little later in the morning. The mini kitchenette was great to have, however, the mini fridge is in the complete opposite end of the basement, which is a bit inconvenient. I did though very much appreciate Tara doing my laundry weekly.

    Tara is a friendly and nice host. The room is new and clean. The location is pretty close to the TTC station and supermarket. I have a happy homestay experience with Tara, I would recommend this homestay to anyone who wants to travel or stay in Toronto!

    Beautiful semi-basement apartment in an elegant and safe neighbourhood, the place is newly furnished and clean. Convenient location, 15 min walk to shops, subway and bus stop, but it usually took me longer because of the many road crossings. Cleaning after 2 weeks was provided and Tara did the laundry once a week as agreed.
    If you need a safe and quiet accommodation and you like to stay by yourself it's the perfect place - not the best option if you need to practise your English or expect a "big family" environment though. Tara is very helpful but also leaves you do your things.
