We have travelled across Canada from Vancouver staying in many home stays and this was the worst. In fact it was more like a hostel than a home stay, We were not with the family, but in a basement with other guests in a room with two very small windows which made it very claustrophobic. We had a shared kitchen and had to provide our own breakfast as none was provided. The only positive thing was having our own bathroom. The host was actually away when we arrived and the girl who was house sitting didn't even know we were coming and had to move someone already in our room to a different room. This was a bad experience and we would not recommend this to anyone looking for a true homestay. In fact, I don't know how this even got onto the Homestay website.

Xuan and Kevin were very good hosts. They were friendly and helpful and their house was amazing. The bedroom was comfy though we would have liked a desk as we use our laptop and it was awkward without one. There is a lovely sitting room for use by guests and this would have been a great area had there been a TV there. The breakfast was adequate and very nice. It was a very pleasant stay in a lovely, quiet area.

Joan was a wonderful host who was very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and we also had use of a room downstairs with a TV which was great. The breakfast was adequate and we also had our own outside access downstairs so we didn't have to go through the main house. We would definitely recommend anyone wanting a pleasant stay in Toronto to keep Joan in mind.

Jan and Gerald were wonderful hosts. Made us feel very welcomed from the moment we arrived. The accommodation was outstanding with a large roomy bedroom and a bed the size of a swimming pool! On the first night we were invited to dine with the family which was delightful. The breakfast was more than adequate and we highly recommend this home stay.

We stayed with Leena and Roy for 3 nights in May 2016. They were wonderful hosts, so friendly and helpful - even went so far as to make us banana bread!!! The room is actually a downstairs apartment consisting of bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge. And it was very comfortable indeed. The kitchen had all the facilities you need if you wish to do your own cooking and the lounge has a large flat screen TV which was great. We also had our own entry which was convenient. We would highly recommend this homestay. We even enjoyed a drink with the host on arrival. We would definitely stay with them again if we return to Vancouver.
