I was in Toronto for three months to work as an unpaid intern and through the entire stay, Shanny and Seiko were the most gracious, understanding hosts in the world. I actually had arranged with Shanny to visit the space prior to my stay just so I could get an idea of what I could bring/fit for the extended time and they were very gracious in letting it happen. Throughout the duration of my stay, Shanny and Seiko were both very quick and prompt in responding to any inquiries I had, as well as the occasional locking my key in my room. :) The neighborhood itself was relatively quiet, with multiple bus stops a block's walk and groceries a 15-min walk away. I could not have asked for a better host or home to stay at during my first trip to Canada and would definitely come back if I'm ever in town again!
