I've been staying at Joy's place for the whole November, while I was searching for long-term rentals in Toronto.
It's a very comfortable and warm place with a clean soft bed, sofa, desk, shower, unlimited Internet, as well as many other little details that can help you feel like home.
Joy is very kind and helpful person. We've had some interesting talks quite a few times, and she helped me a lot with information about the city and many other things as well. I'm really glad that I've chosen to stay here.
The area itself (Yonge and Eglington) has a very convenient location - not far from Downtown and close to North York. There are lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, as well as Northern District Public Library, cinema, FedEx office, etc. You can find almost anything within 10 minutes walk.
I would definitely recommend Joy's place to anyone looking for a calm, friendly and interesting stay in Toronto.
