Toronto Homestays

I stayed here with two of my teen boys. Absolutely perfect! Location, cleanliness, amenities - if I could give 10 stars, I would! It’s walking distance from Ripley’s Aquarium, Roger’s Centre, CN Tower, Union Station and so much more! The host is great! Very clear instructions on check in and very prompt with communication. Comfortable beds, air conditioning, fresh linen, very clean overall. The neighbourhood is friendly and complete with a lovely restaurant only meters away. I highly recommend staying here and we will be back! :)

Stepping inside, it immediately felt like coming home. I was greeted in Chinese, a welcome and long-missed feeling after being away for so long. The hosts were incredibly warm and even offered me some delicious stuffed flatbread. We chatted, and I even managed to do my laundry. The best part was finding a running store, Running Room, right outside the door – a place I'd been searching for ages! I was thrilled to get a new pair of running shoes. Staying at a B&B offers a completely different experience compared to a hotel. The room was so comfortable; it was the best night's sleep I've had in days. If I had to pick a con, it would be that there's only one, rather small, bathroom. It so happened that a friend came to meet me and was waiting outside while I urgently needed to use the restroom. However, an elderly gentleman was in there, and I had to wait for what felt like a very long time, probably about 10-15 minutes. Besides that, everything was absolutely perfect!

I stayed at this hotel for one night, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best short stays I’ve had in a long time. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The host was absolutely amazing — extremely helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the entire stay. They answered all of my questions quickly, even after I had already checked in, which made the whole experience feel very smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find that level of attentiveness and genuine care. The view was simply stunning. I loved the beautiful water view — waking up and seeing the water right outside was such a peaceful and memorable experience. It truly elevated the entire stay. The unit itself was spotless and exceptionally clean. You can tell that a lot of care goes into maintaining the space. Everything felt fresh, organized, and very well taken care of. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which made it so convenient to prepare our own dinner. Having a proper kitchen setup really makes a difference, especially for a comfortable and relaxed night in. The location is another huge plus. The area is fantastic — so many restaurants and bars within walking distance, and even grocery stores nearby. Being able to walk everywhere made the stay even more enjoyable and convenient. Overall, this place is a solid 10/10. I would absolutely stay here again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, well-located place to stay downtown. Truly a five-star experience!

Very nice accommodation with a private bathroom and a shared kitchen. Communication was quick and straightforward; we were able to spontaneously extend our stay by one night and remain in the same room without any issues. Besides a fridge, kitchen, and a washer-dryer, the accommodation even provided free water bottles, which was a thoughtful and practical touch. The room was clean and modern, making you feel very comfortable. The shower with massage jets was also very pleasant after a long day. The bed is sufficient for two people, but could be bigger. We had to push it against the wall because the mattress quickly gave way at the edge, and you'd easily fall out otherwise. The location is convenient but not exactly central. The good 10-minute walk to the subway and then a 25-35 minute ride to the center (depending on the destination) was uncomplicated but, of course, took time.

The apartment is in an excellent location with a truly breathtaking night view! The surrounding area has everything you need, and it’s only about an 8-minute walk to Shoppers and the subway station, making getting around incredibly easy and convenient. The room was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with everything for a comfortable stay. The only small note is that guests may want to bring their own slippers. The host was absolutely wonderful—providing clear, detailed check-in instructions and offering warm, thoughtful reminders and assistance both before and during my stay. On my departure day, I needed a little extra time after the 12 p.m. check-out, and I’m deeply grateful to the host for kindly allowing me the time to pack and get ready without any rush. Overall, this was a perfect stay from start to finish. I would be delighted to return here on my next visit and will happily recommend it to friends and family!

Overall it is not bad, there is no shortage of what should be, but the room is too small and feels cramped. The photo actually shows the interior of the room, but the actual view will be disappointed, because the space is too small.

Comfortable and quiet. Late check-in was no problem with good communication from host. I unfortunately arrived late and left early and didn’t get a chance to speak with anyone! (Oh well maybe next time.) Plenty of on street parking, good residential neighborhood close to York area as indicated. I would stay again. Don’t expect a 5 star experience and you won’t be disappointed. Perfect for my needs.

I read the comments and my heart was half cold, mainly because the price was too cheap. In this area, next to Chinatown, it is best to have a local mobile phone to contact him for convenience. The short message is also the first time to return, and the introduction is also very detailed. The deposit needs to be delivered online, but the refund is quite fast. The air conditioner is also quite quiet, and I will live again next time.

My friend and I had a good experience there. The worker named Liang was very friendly. The room was clean and big enough for us. The layout was odd but it wasn’t a big deal. We got a room with a microwave oven. The location was in a China town. Easy to commute anywhere. I would stay there again.
