Maxine and Gary are wonderful. I stayed there for a month with my girlfriend and I felt like I was in my own home, with my own family. If you are thinking about being hosted at Maxine's, you have to be prepared to receive pancakes in the morning by surprise and fruit pie as dessert all out of sudden or to be invited to a party at her house with her friends. Really, believe me when I say that they are wonderful! They are so kind and so great that I felt like they were my parents. They always had some tips or ideas of what to do in the city too. About the house, everything is as perfect as the owners, everything clean and with a lot of useful appliances. The bed is great, the kitchen is pretty much complete and the bathroom is ok also. Gary and Maxine, thank you for everything. My stay in Toronto would not be so special if I haven't met you and your house! We will miss you for a long time!
