This is a place of magic filled with warmth, coziness, great hospitality and amazing conversations and building friendships. Marina and Yuri are very welcoming, generous and friendly. They are ready to help with any questions and engage in amazing conversation in morning coffee times followed by the best home baked cookies in the world. The place is by the beautiful park, in a great location and the room if full of good vibes and neat and clean. The entire plates radiates with warmth, joy and positiveness. Sal( the dog) adds so much fun while playing with the sun rays in his sunny corner. Marina is a great cook and she bakes delicious biscotti bread, and cookies which gave the kitchen place this tender and smooth scent of the delicacy and beauty. I felt I was in a wonderful vacation place filled with great scents of baked goods, heartfelt laughter and honest and informative conversations over home made macchiato, cappuccino and you name it.

I highly recommend this place especially to people who like hospitality, are friendly and like socializing, introverts or extroverts- no matter the hosts will adjust to your attitude, and who are curious to learn more about the city and share stories. There is so much to learn from each other. The host are very knowledgeable people in so many subjects and it is delightful to spend time hearing and engaging in different topic conversations with them over the morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.
Their wisdom and hospitality was outstanding and I had a wonderful experience in their home.

The place is located also in a very convenient location. Close to the metro and for those like me who like to walk- very pleasant walks on the college street to the Kensington market, University of Toronto area, Royal Conservatory, Museums and different shops.
Also close to the house there is a beautiful park for the morning run or exercise.
I will definitely stay there again next time I visit Toronto. And recommend you do to if you really want to have an amazing home welcomed experience.
