As a newcomer to Canada, the most vital thing is to find good accommodation for those first months when you're trying to adjust to a new country. Emily's place is one of the most wonderful homes I have ever stayed out of my Airbnb experiences.
Emily was already there to welcome me to her home and explain me all the amenities and facilities I can use during the visit. The house, my room, washroom is sparkling clean. The room already had work table/chair, a nice wardrobe and nice glass window for me to enjoy Canadian summer. In total, It was much better than expected.
She and her husband are really great to have conversations with. She suggested different places around to eat as well as how to commute.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay in GTA Toronto ( Especially Markham or Scarborough).
