Helen is a great host, very nice and helpful. Her home is in a quiet and safe neighbourhood close to 2 subway stations as well as buses. Since I had just moved to Toronto, she gave me some wonderful and very helpful advice. Her place is very clean and she has thought of everything you might need and even more; from little snacks and fresh milk for coffee to locally made soaps in the washroom. There's a large collection of interesting DVD's and cassettes in the room and can provide anyone with hours and hours of entertainment :) She even offered to keep my luggage till the evening since my place wasn't ready and when I came to collect, she had my bags upstairs already.
I loved my stay at Helen's and would recommend it to anyone coming to Toronto.
