I stayed in Karen's basement apartment for 4 months with my boyfriend as our first place when we moved from London to Toronto. Karen is an amazing host who will go above and beyond for you. She made us feel so welcome moving to a new country and always made sure to say hi and have a smile on her face! She stocked the fridge and freezer with all the necessities for when we arrived so we didn't have the stress of needing to do a food shop so quickly. The place itself was extremely clean and has EVERYTHING you need from plenty of kitchen equipment to extra bedding to towels....you name it, it was there! The location is also perfect! Right on line 2 which brings you into downtown in 30 minutes. Thank you so much Karen, I would recommend your place to anyone wanting to stay in Toronto. We miss it already.
