A is a great host. I can't recommend her enough.
The house:
This house was our first stay in Canada. At 3 to 5 mins from Eglinton West subway station on foot, the house is connected well with downtown Toronto. Union station was 25 to 30 mins from the house (provided subway works :D). The house had good heating system and kept all the cold air outside - it was always warm and cozy inside. You have all the necessary things needed to stay here for a long time. We stayed here for a month (almost) and had all the necessary amenities to keep our stay comfortable.
P.S. Make sure you have the chimney on whenever cooking, the fire alarm is very sensitive :)
The neighborhood:
The house is right next to a small park and is in a beautiful neighborhood. We saw Autumn at its best from the surroundings around the house. There are a few small convenience stores - for those urgent daily need items, and a TD bank (branch and ATM) - for that quick cash you may need. For all planned purchases (if you want to get the best rates), you may need to take the bus to Jason's No Frills (good for milk, bread and veggies, misc home supplies). We also have an option to go north by subway to some great stores, near the subway stations in the north (like Sobey's). Since we were new to the place, and in search of a house, we shopped near the houses we had scheduled for viewing. But overall, you can get almost everything done with nearby stores or from public transport connected stores. I am not sure about winters though, as we left before it started.
The Hospitality:
We felt right at home, when we were at the house - safe and cared for. Whenever we had a problem, A tried her best to address it. There were a few problems we had and A made sure she had them addressed. We were given dedicated time whenever we had some questions.
