Mumtaz and her family made us feel welcome and made sure we were happy with everything during our stay.
The accommodation is around 15 minutes from the airport. On the bus and subway it takes around an hour to get downtown. We got a weekly pass for TTC which is $45 each and good value, it allows unlimited TTC travel on the busses, subway and street cars.
Round the corner is a subway, pizza place and small store. Around 10 min walk is a larger supermarket, Chinese takeaway, dominos & fish and chips. Centennial park is 10-15 min walk.
The accommodation is the basement of the house, which was great for us getting away from the heat in summer. There is a large double room with sofa and tv. Separate double room. Shower room which houses the washing machine. Kitchen with oven, fridge etc - although we didn't cook. There is an entrance through the garage which we didn't use, it was just easier to just use the front door. The space is large and private. The tv is set up with a chromecast for watching YouTube etc, we were able to watch our UK Netflix through the tv, but you get all the US programs so quite good.
We stayed for 11 days and got on really well.
