Jim and Elena were both wonderful hosts. very welcoming and accommodating as well as being easy to talk to to and insightful. House is beautifully decorated with many amazing paintings done by Jim. The location of their home is perfectly situated just outside of downtown Toronto, give or take a 20 minute walk, but not so far that you hear all of the busy sounds of city living. This made many of the sights and places we wanted to see during our visit very accessible. 100% would recommend for any traveler looking to stay in Toronto.
