I am a mother of 3 young adult children. My oldest lives with me, and the other 2 are away at school. We are busy and very active in the community. Our home is located in an urban part of the city and is close to transit, parks, and shopping. We're in the middle of everything!
We always have a pot of tea or coffee available. Please help yourself. If you have any special requests please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate them. I work a hybrid home and office.
Check-in: After 3:00 PM
Check-out: Before 11:00 AM
About Canada:
If this is the first time that you are visiting Canada, we welcome you!
Canada is the second largest land mass in the world after Russia. We have more freshwater lakes than any country in the world.
Our water is so pure that it is bottled and sold around the world. Yes, we drink the water from the tap. It is that safe! You will not need to buy bottled water.
It is customary that when we enter a home, we remove our shoes. In the winter, they put salt on the roads and this comes into the home on your footwear, so it is our habit to remove shoes/boots at the door.
Canadians are the friendliest people that you will encounter. We are helpful and accepting of all cultures. In the Toronto area, half of the population was born outside of the country. We are truly a nation of immigrants, but we get along with each other.

House Rules
We ask that you clean up after yourself.
My home is fairly quiet. You're welcome to listen to your favourite music but please keep it low so it can't be heard from another room.
The kitchen is open for you to use the dishes and cutlery. Please be finished by 10 pm on weeknights.
I do not allow smoking in the home or on the grounds because I don't like to find cigarette butts on the grounds.
Also, I have zero tolerance for recreational drugs even if they may be legal.
Smoking Rules
Your host is a non-smoker.
Smoking is not allowed.

I had a great stay with Esther. She is very knowledgeable of the local area & can advise on travel and amenities. The house is well connected to frequent bus routes which connect to Mississauga & Toronto. There are also many stores within walking distance too. The bedroom was spacious & there were good kitchen & washroom facilities available.
Esther is a great host & helped me so much during my stay which I'm very thankful for. I can highly recommend her Homestay, especially for new comers to the city needing accommodation while they look to settle in the area.

I stayed 8 nights at Esther's place. Esther and her family are very nice and hospitable! The place is very clean and cozy. They provided towels, drinks and everything I needed. I felt very comfortable there, and I enjoyed our conversations <3
