Aishe and her husband are wonderful hosts, extremely communicative, welcoming and helpful. Their basement apartment is spacious, sparkling clean, and well-equipped. It has all the things you will need for longer term stays of a month or longer. It's located in suburban Etobicoke where everything is located a little farther out, so you'll have to walk 5 mins to grab coffee, 10 mins to go to a grocery store or 15 mins to take the UP Express (that takes you to Union from where you can go anywhere in the city). If that sounds manageable or you intend to drive, this is an amazing place to live, especially for a newcomer, and probably one of the best options available in Toronto!
