Iwona’s home is a perfect place for long term stay and that encouraged me to extend my stay few times and I eventually stayed here for almost 5 months. It is a very clean, comfortable basement apartment with one bedroom with comfortable queen size bed and one drawing room that includes kitchen as well. You have separate entrance for your apartment and it has all the required amenities including wifi, laundry, iron, dryer, microwave, oven, utensils, toaster, coffee maker etc. It is situated in quite residential neighborhood and TTC street car stop is at 5 minutes walking distance on Gerrard Street. It takes you to college station in 30 minutes or to Main Street station in 5 minutes. Alternatively, on weekdays you can go to Kingston Road (3-4 minutes walk) and catch 503 bus that takes you directly to downtown within 25-30 minutes. Grocery stores such as Loblaws, Sobeys, No-frill, Save on food, metro etc are within 5-6 minutes drive. Tim Hortons and Starbucks are also nearby.
However, above all it is the support and responsiveness of the host that makes this place more special. Iwona is very helpful and really takes good care of her guest. Overall, this is a perfect place to stay in Toronto and I would definitely recommend this to everyone planning to come and stay in Toronto.
