Homestay in Toronto, Canada

Our home is located in a friendly, quite and safe neighborhood and is located at Pharmacy and Ellesmere, 3 – 5 minutes to bus stops and 45 minutes to Downtown Toronto by subway. The closest subway stations are 17 minutes to Victoria Park station (Bloor line) by public transit and 20 minutes to York Mills station by pubic transit (Yonge line).

3 minutes walk to the shopping mall including banks, library, medical offices, drug stores, and number of restaurants and fast food stores.

We love and enjoy meeting people of different nationalities knowing and learning their cultures while sharing Canadian culture. Every homestay person that stays in our home is treated as part of our family. We let the homestay person feel that our family is a HOME away from home.
