Bill is by far the kindest, most helpful host I have met and have traveled worldwide in my job and for pleasure. The rooms are pristine as is Bill's welcoming home. The area is superb with everything one would need close by. I would gladly stay with Bill again any time he would welcome me. Thank you again Bill, your kindness will not be forgotten.

Bill was welcoming and took us around the house explaining everything we needed to know. The room was comfortable, warm and clean. The shared bathroom was very clean as well. The bus stop was about 5-10 Minutes walk and the subway about 10-15 Minutes by bus. We recommend this place.

I've had a great stay in house's Bill. I felt like at home. I had my independence and my private space. Bill has been a great host understanding and flexible. The house is very quiet, the living room is sunny, there are trees with birds and squirrels around the house. It was pleasant and peaceful. The other guests were very nice.
I have only two negative point. First, the decoration of my room was rather dark (carpet and dark curtains). I would have preferred a simpler decoration, clear and uncluttered especially for a place of passage. The second point concerns my sheets that were very worn and that did not make me want to sleep in it.
A clarification: the bus stop is a 7-minute walk from the house and to get to a subway station (Sheppard West or Sheppard Yonge) it takes a 30-minute bus ride.
But overall I had a good stay at Bill's house and I wish him all the best.

Thanks Bill for being so helpful while i stayed at your homestay. Your homestay is located in a very calm/silent neighborhood. From your homestay, i was able to so easily gain access to most of the stuff i needed during my stay e.g restaurants and grocery stores etc. I will be back on my next Toronto visit. I hoped to give you 7 hearts for the super experience but only a maximum of 5 hearts are available, so i will indeed give you those 5 hearts!
