This HomeStay was a Godsend and was the perfect one for my situation. The landlady at the other place cancelled at the last minute because and it was understandable because it was an 11-day quarantine that the government required for travellers to do. We were forced to look for another booking. I saw this at Google and was the first one to respond to my message. They're very kind and easy to talk to and can teach you a lot of things if you are new (I'm an international student) and they'll provide you with everything you need once you arrive there. This couple is my definition of a perfect welcome to Canada, especially to those who have their family here yet. I definitely recommend this HomeStay to everyone! Once again, I thank you, Benjamin and Hanna :)

Hosts Hanna and Benjamin are very warm-hearted, friendly and helpful! They always try to give me useful information, and always ask my opinion to provide best conditions for my homestay in every aspect. They serve breakfast every morning, and with extra cost, I can have dinner, which are very good.
The house is located near a small-sized mall with a few restaurants, and if you go a bit further, there is a very big mall near the subway station. It's easy to get access to bus stops near the house, and once you get a bus, you can easily transfer to metro.
So highly recommend to all!!!March 2019

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.
Yes pls drop by..
