I would go back and book again.
Neighborhood is quiet and safe, I had to go out at 6.30am, pitch black and did not feel threatened in any way.Has access to public transport (TTC for around Toronto, GO train- very reachable from Helena's place-is 6 min away, it takes you to Union Station, from where one can take the UP express to the airport)
Lots of shops around, almost for anything one might need.
The house is old, but oh so cozy, comfortable and spacious. It has nice, artistic touches throughout.
Helena has two very lovable cats, both are well behaved. They don't meow before 7 15am lol.
Helena is amazing, she is there when you need her and gives you space when she understands you need it. Very intuitive lady. I was there for 6 days and I had to study for an exam. She was very respectful of my space and stepped in when she sensed that I was stressed, made a cake for me and offered me tea. I appreciated the gesture so much.
Thank you Helena for hosting me. God willing, I will be back.
