I and my partner live in our own house in the east end of Toronto and we love hosting people from all over the world.
Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood, 10-12 min walk (or 2 bus stops) to Woodbine subway station, less than 30 min to downtown by public transit, and steps away from a big ravine park.
We are 30 min away from ILAC and Access, 38min from LSI, and 40 min from Kaplan language schools.
We host 3 people at our house at all times - mostly international students and young professionals. Our guests have access to a full guest kitchen (with dishes, pots, pans, coffee makers and everything you need for cooking), living/dining area and a shower. Everyone gets their own space in the fridge, a kitchen cabinet and a space in the bathroom to store their stuff. A professional cleaner comes once a week to clean common areas.
I'm graphic designer and illustrator, Jordan is an IT guy, both working from home (but you won't see us much unless you need us).
We love traveling, photography, people, and authentic conversations. Apart and together we've traveled to China, Japan, Thailand, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, France, Belgium, the UK, Holland, Spain, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Canada, the US, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Argentina.
Originally from Russia, I moved to Canada as an international student 12 years ago, now happy to host a new generation of foreign students myself!
Jordan hosted over 60 couch-surfers in his previous apartment!

Come posso prenotare?
Contatta l'host per verificare la loro disponibilità e chiedi loro eventuali informazioni necessarie a finalizzare il tuo soggiorno. Una volta che l'host conferma che e' disponibile per le date richieste, è possibile completare la prenotazione.
Quando pago?
Una volta che l’host conferma di essere disponibile, puoi procedere con la prenotazione e pagare il 15% a titolo di commissione di prenotazione (con un massimo di 250 $£€ per soggiorni estesi) e un 25% di deposito utilizzando diverse opzioni di pagamento: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. Il deposito e’ incassato in anticipo per conto dell’host per consentirgli di tutelarsi contro eventuali cancellazioni effettuate con meno di 7 giorni di anticipo o nel caso di mancato arrivo. Pagherai quindi il restante saldo direttamente all’host all’arrivo. Il deposito del 25 % viene trasferito all’host due giorni lavorativi dopo la data prevista di arrivo. Questo pagamento a titolo di deposito ti verrà restituito solamente nel caso in cui cancelli la prenotazione con un preavviso di almeno 7 giorni rispetto alla data di arrivo.
Quando posso condividere i miei dati di contatto?
Non appena la prenotazione viene confermata dall'ospite e la commissione di prenotazione viene pagata, Homestay.com invierà una mail di conferma con gli indirizzi email e numeri di telefono per mettersi in contatto direttamente. E' vietato scambiare contatti diretti attraverso il sistema di messaggistica prima del pagamento della prenotazione.
