We live in Scarborough, Ontario near Eglington and Kennedy in a plaza - a commercial/residential unit about a 10 -13 minute walk to Kennedy Subway Station, close to grocery stores (NoFrills), a bank (TD Canada Trust), convenient stores (Giant Tiger). There are parks nearby as well (Corvette Park). Our neighbors are friendly. This neighborhood in general is so pleasant.

My husband and I know what it's like to travel and live in other countries. We've traveled to many but lived in the United Kingdom (1yr), and Taipei, Taiwan (7yrs).

We would ask of you to tidy up after yourself, and to take basic security measures (lock the door before you leave). We also don't allow any smoking/vaping in or on our property.

Please make full payment upon arrival and then you will be handed the key and the wifi password.

Please look throughout our profile for more details and if you have ANY questions, please do let us know!

Best Regards,

Meighan & Adrian

    I had the absolute pleasure of staying with Meighan K. N. and her husband during my recent trip. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and made to feel right at home. The couple is incredibly friendly and accommodating, always eager to assist or provide recommendations.

    The facilities provided were top-notch. The room was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I might need. The shared spaces, including the bathroom and kitchen, were always kept tidy and were very user-friendly.

    One of the standout features of my stay was the prime location of the residence. Situated right outside was a TTC stop, making commuting a breeze. This was especially handy as I had several places to visit in the city. Additionally, the neighborhood boasted several conveniences. There were a number of restaurants, ranging from fast food to fine dining, and a convenience store just a short walk away, ensuring I was never far from anything I needed.

    All in all, my stay with Meighan K. N. was delightful. If you're looking for a place that feels like home with the added benefits of a fantastic location and wonderful hosts, I can't recommend them highly enough.

    I stayed here for a month and had the most pleasant time ever. The room itself is spacious and everything was arranged neatly when I arrived. Meighan and Adrian are wonderful people and amazing hosts. Being a newcomer, they told me how to get around and we talked a lot about general life in Canada and what not. Adrian even helped me with my job search.

    Amenities are close by, you have no frills supermarket, TD bank, subway station, laundromat all 10-15 mins walk. There’s also a Tim Horton place close by and take away places. You can reach downtown by subway in 30 minutes.

    The homestay is neat and the common bathroom and kitchen are well maintained. Adrian is a tea specialist and Meighan will make you the best coffee. Enjoy their hospitality! This place is great and comfortable. You will find peace of mind here.

    I don't know what to say. You just changed my life, I have discovered another way of living, I have been in a rehearsal, participated in the concert doing a funny joke, meeting cool people. Thanks to Adrian I learned more about music, eating food from all around the world just in a walking distance. I learned a lot about the city and the culture and you encouraged me to keep fighting even in the worst moments. Meighan even if you weren't always at home because of your work I admire you, you teached me how hard can a person work in so many places and even with that you make time to record songs. I think is your true vocation after I saw you recording, singing and performing in the concert and with your past that I still in shock how big we can become. I have to mention Roger one of the coolest guys that I've ever meet, thanks to you, even if I was leaving when he came and we couldn't spend time hanging out, he shown me the true meaning of Taiwanese people and their kindness. Now I understand why you had been living there. I send a huge hug to Xinren, Auryn and Ringo!! I'm pretty sure that we will meet again!!!
