Coming in to this as my first homestay, I was unsure of what to expect. I had chosen Imelda purely upon seeing her glowing reviews and was rewarded with an even greater experience than I could even have thought to imagine. Staying with Imelda and Kevin truly felt as if I was staying with family. From chatting in the kitchen to over the table, and sometimes even in the hallway, I found every conversation with Imelda and Kevin fun in every one of those places. Imelda is a wonderful and attentive host, and both she and Kevin went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and felt at-home. Our walks and the time when we watched a movie together are among the many memories I made here with the Badian family. All in all, I am genuinely glad I had a chance to stay here and recommend them to anyone looking for an ideal homestay. :)

Awesome feedback my dear Ishita!
Thank you for the good words and being a good guest. You are an exceptional kid at your age. Keep that good behavior. Good luck to your studies. Chase that dream of yours.Aprile 2022
Imelda is an absolute lady and a perfect host. She was very friendly and helpful in all regards for someone who was new to the area. A very prompt communicator which is reassuring when you're booking from abroad. She went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant and help me get setup in Toronto. Her rooms are spacious, clean and setup for home working.
My only regret is that I didn't book longer originally. I will miss our morning coffees before my work commute to Downtown which is a convenient 30 minutes door to door via a short walk to the subway.

Imelda she is very friendly and helpful. My wife stay with her with a peace of mind, relaxing as if our home. During the pandemic it’s really tuff for everyone Imelda make it easy, very responsive and flexible under the guideline of intense safety rule. Highly recommend her cosy place if anyone visiting Toronto and need one of the best hospitality in town. My wife and Imelda also share their delicious meal. Stay in this place is just like you stay with a family Thousand thanks to Imelda. You the best.

Coming to Canada was a revelation. I came with high expectations and was met with the cold but warm hearted people. Then I came to my Toronto host Imelda's apartment and I was not disappointed. Although her, her son and I did not get off to the warmest of starts. She showed me motherly warmth and was kind. She was always available with an eye & ear to listen to me when I was homesick and 'it' was at its worst, which was more common then not, which I heartbreakingly have to admit. But more importantly she lived up to her 'Homestay' reputation as a highly recommended host. And although I will not be coming back to canada, I can say my stay was just that more comfortable because of Imelda and the apartment shes made a home.

I was recommended by friends who were living in Toronto to stay with Imelda for my holiday and she certainly exceeded expectations. Imelda was very hospitable and accommodating, and while I may not have been in the apartment much each day, Imelda and her son Kevin were very friendly and very welcoming into their home. I can't recommend her enough.
Host reply

I really liked the stay. Although I only was there for 1 month I could enjoy my time there. Imelda and Kevin were always very helpful, Kevin even gave me his Nintendo switch. Good place to stay to work or explore Toronto (20min subway to downtown).

Thank you for the 5 hearts review! Good luck to your journey, exploring different places.
