I stayed at Dale and Karen's place for three nights and everything was excellent. I did not get to meet Dale due to his schedule but I did meet Karen. They were both very helpful and offered a lot of advice since I booked the room all the way until I checked out. Their beautiful house was very clean and spacious with a great kitchen and living room area. My room had everything I needed and the house also has a large backyard, though I didn't use it. Downtown Toronto is less than half an hour away with a subway station just under 15 mins walk away or quicker if you use a streetcar nearby.
Overall, my stay was great and I would certainly stay at Dale and Karen's house if I visit Toronto again. I highly recommend it.
