    Ma'am Maureen is a kind person, her home is very clean and comfortable and there are lots of places to eat and grocery stores around. She will also take you round.

    Really enjoyed my stay here, would definitely go back! Family (including the dog) are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Plenty of nearby shops/places to eat and it’s really easy to get to downtown Toronto.

    I count myself lucky for being here. It was a great experience for me, I definitely enjoyed that and I'd like to stay in Maurene's family again. I
    would highly recommend this stay for either a short-time travel or for those who plans to stop for a while.

    Maureen is an incredible and lovely host. Stay in her home was the best choice I could do. She did her best to help me in different things, and I am really grateful for all she did for me.
    Her family is also really benevolent and welcoming.
    I hope to go back in Toronto to meet them again.
    Thank you for all Maureen, kisses from France.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
