I spent two months with Joe, the last two of my second semester at UofT. The entire time I was there, he respected my privacy, was easy to communicate with, and was an overall pleasure to live with. During my stay, we mostly kept to our own schedules, though there was never any hesitation to talk or have a meal together from time to time. Joe is incredibly respectful, attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area; this came in handy when I wanted to get together with classmates!
If you’re looking to stay in Toronto for a longer period than a simple week or two, Joe is definitely your guy. I doubt there are many other AirBnB hosts quite like him!
