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).

It was a pleasure to stay with Imelda and her son Kevin, the apartment is very neat and tidy, it is located in a quiet neighborhood yet easy to access public transportation to get you where ever you need to go. Both of them were very friendly and willing to open their house to me as well as provide me with any assistance I required from day one. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone else that is looking for a place to stay.
Thank you.

Imelda and her son are very kind. It is very easy to go downtown Toronto with the public transportation system from her place. Everything was like I expected it to be. Therefore, a really great experience.

It’s was a amazing experience! It was my first time staying with a home stay and I loved the experience. Imelda is a incredible person! So kind and friendly, always helped me in what I needed. Imelda’s home is very organized, cleaned, and quiet a few minutes from the metro station. If you will go to Toronto, I recommend to stay in Imelda's home!

What can I say about Imelda that the others have not already said? Pay attention to all the previous comments, everything is true! Imelda is a hostess committed to all human beings. My husband and I are newcomers in Canada and Imelda has helped, advised and guided us from the simplest to the most complex situations in this moving walk, and for that we are infinitely grateful. Imelda besides welcome us into her house, which by the way, all the rules are clear, as her place, this is also part of having felt confortable by the Badian-De La Cruz Family. One plus, his son Kevin who also lives there, is a great guy! See you soon Imelda and Kevin! ¡Gracias por todo!

Muchas gracias my new friend! Thank you so much for your excellent review! I am so moved and very glad that I and my son helped you in a way...I think everyone wants to be treated fairly. It is just good people deserved to be treated good. Your short stay in my home created a special friendship and trust. See you around. Good luck in seeking a good job to both of you! We can always meet, to have a cup of coffee.

Successivamente, pagherai l'host all'arrivo, oppure in base alle condizioni descritte nel profilo dell'host e concordate al momento della prenotazione. Ti preghiamo di prestare sempre molta attenzione alle richieste di pagamento anticipato avanzate dall'host, specialmente quando tali termini di pagamento non sono inclusi nel profilo dell'host.
