I spent great time with Tanya’s family and also lots of students from all over the world.
Tanya served us great dinner, did our laundries, and helped us keeping the room clean.
You don’t need to worry about every dinner and other chores, instead, you can spend time talking with other countries people!
I think here is the best place to stay in Toronto!Host reply

Nice homestay overall, you get to interact with foreigner students so english can be easily improved and practiced. The house itself is spacious, clean and organized. Cleaning by a third person is done on a regular basis. Location is nice, close to Yorkdale and Lawrence Allen Centre, also to the subway station. Quiet and calm neighbourhood. Hosts are kind and care about hospitality. Would recommended

Tanya's family are amazing people! I loved to be there!
Tanya is an incredible person, she was so respectful with me, always worried about my accommodation and details all the time.
The place is in the perfect location, close to the bus station, gym, malls, restaurants, amongst others.
100% recommend!Host reply

In my opinion, this is a great place to stay in Canada and improves your English because there are some other international students and the host family can always help you when you have some issues or questions.
I was really happy that I stayed there.Host reply

It's a good place to start your journey in Canada. The family is friendly. You can chit-chat, ask questions, and understand how locals solve problems. Rooms and furniture are all prepared and the location of the house is good enough. You may get to know housemates from different countries and play with them too.
