Hanna and Benjamin are the nicest! I stayed in the single bed room and it is as shown, it has all you need for you to feel comfortable. The house has a really convenient location (5 minutes walking to the bus stop). I asked them for instructions on how to arrive from the airport and for some extra charge they offered to pick me up (this helped a lot considering it was my first time in Toronto). I only stayed for 3 days but they made me feel like home! I definitely recommend this homestay, if needed I’ll come back! Thank you Hanna and Benjamin!

I have wonderful experiences spending my stay here. The room was great and tidy. Hanna and Benjamin treated me like I am a part of their family, Benjamin made my first experience in Canada splendid by showing me everything (bus route, bus stop) I need for my very first day to school although it was at midnight, It also made me homesick when I tried Hanna’s dinner since she prepared it just like my country’s cuisine.
I will surely comeback if I have chances, they are my first greatest Canadian friendsHost reply
Awe! That was sweet!
Of course you are welcome any time Tri.
If you want to treat us like your family in Canada you are more than welcome as you always have a place amidst of us...
Couldn’t talk much as you were sleeping most time when we were around.

I had wonderful stay at Hanna located st Pharmacy/Shephard in Toronto on Apr 5-13,2018. They are excellent hosts, friendly, provided me with very helpful information so I was able to move around in Totonto.
On my arrival, Hanna arranged airport pickup with a fee that solved the transportation problem after my long haul flight from Hong Kong.
On my arrival at her house, the yummy cooking smell immediately gave me a "home sweet home" feeling. I was most surprised and was very grateful to be invited to join in dinner, with compliments. I was soon put into the well equipped room.
Though a very short stay for a week, I do look forward to going back to Hanna's if available. Location is super, easy reach by buses, shops, the metro etc. I was very lucky to find Hanna and be looked after. In short, I had a wonderful stay, highly recommend to anyone, my friends in future visiting Toronto. She as several rooms and if anyone is able to get the luck I had, do not hesitate but go, and savour the warm greetings, feeling at ease like your own home.
