This was definitely the best long-term stay ever! I had a wonderful time at Helena's house for three months. She and her daughter Terra were amazing hosts and I felt like part of their family. They were very welcoming from the very first day, and I really enjoyed our discussions on different topics. There were also two lovely, well-behaved cats in the house, Fiasco and Charlie, and it was a great experience to interact with them. Something that makes this place so special is Helena's generosity; on numerous occasions, she prepared breakfast for me and shared different meals/cakes/waffles throughout the day. This was definitely a nice gesture! The room is spacious, super-bright, and comes with a working desk, which I used for work. The house is very close to the subway station and 30 min. TTC ride to downtown. The neighborhood is great and I really enjoyed walking around the area. I want to thank Helena once more for her amazing hospitality and I'd recommend this place to everyone looking for a short/long term stay in Toronto!
