Ella is an awesome host, very welcoming and friendly! She gave me a lot of info and recommendations about the area and I got to try her bread spreads and oatmeal cookies (she's a great cook and baker!), which I really appreciated. I felt at home right away in her cozy apartment and enjoyed returning there after my busy days, being greeted by her cute cat Malka. The neighborhood is great as well, close to everything you need and only a short walk to the subway (F and G train), as well as quiet and safe.
