Welcome toToronto !
I'm Connie, your host. My townhouse has 4 bedrooms and only 3 girls live here including me, no boys. Two of them stayed for one year, finished school and moved to another place closer to work. My place is located right in the heart of the City and is near 2 parks with large public tennis courts and basketball courts: the popular Trinity Bellwood Park and Stanley Park. We are surrounded with residential and commercial buildings. Across from us is a large office building and to the left is another office building. Parkdale Library is only 7-15 minutes away but a 24 minute walk will get you there quickly. Our location is most of the time not affected by brownouts due to storms & heavy snow as downtown has energy priority. If you want to experience living in a safe home in downtown Toronto, live with us. One other reason why students like my house is that the walls are covered with mirrors from entrance hallway, to living room, dining room, washroom and bedrooms. Click "View Photos" to see the pictures of the rooms and the rest of the house.
Our place is near Lake Ontario so fresh air especially at night comes handy. University of Toronto, Ryerson University, York University, OCAD University, George Brown College, Humber College and many Language schools like ILSC, ILAC & KAPLAN are just 3-5 km away and will take you only 18-30 minutes to get there by TTC public transit.
Our area is very safe even if you come home late at night, still, a lot of people are on the streets and police cars are patrolling around all night.
King and Queen streets are frequented by mostly young people roaming around the pubs and restaurants until 2 am.
Subway stations nearby are OSGOODE station on Queen Street West and St. ANDREW station on King Street West.
Both stations are 15 minutes away from my place by TTC.
Very safe even to walk from subway to my place at night especially patrolling police cars and taxis are all over both streets.
Our house is also secured by a home security door bell camera to shun intruders.
Included in the rent are use of bed linens, electricity, hot/cold water, drinking water filter, cookwares, kitchenwares, dishes like plates and spoons, unlimited wifi and once a week use of washer/dryer. NOTE that you are responsible for your own supplies: bathroom supplies, kitchen supplies, laundry supplies like detergent and stuff. Note also that we don't offer meal of any kind. You will have your own kitchen shelf and fridge shelf and shoe shelf. For heavy cooking, I offer use of Rice cooker, Air Fryer, water kettle, Toaster, Keurig coffee maker and Microwave Oven. You are only responsible for washing your own dishes and to clean the mess you created and the floor you walk in, in respect to the next person to use it. You are provided with a brand new clean slipper as no shoes are allowed to use inside the house.
ROOMS:
1) (AVAILABLE) This room is my best room overlooking CN Tower fully furnished with beddings and thick winter blankets, has a double bed, white matching furnitures with thick mattress, 2 desks and an office chair, a large dresser, a vanity table with mirror and chair, big closet, and a large standing mirror. This room was occupied by 2 young girls working full time for one year. Pictures are displayed in my website.
2) (Not Available)
I am a retired IT Professional/Accountant and I have managed girls aged 18 years old and above specially Coop students. I've lived in this house since 1984, more than 40 years with over 10 years experience as a host. My hobby is singing Karaoke, shopping, going to the gym and singing with a church choir.
My students like my place because it has newly been renovated, has clean rooms and no clutters around the house. They maintain their rooms and the house quite well so I expect you do the same. They most specially like the simplicity of my rules. Some of my students told me they looked around for other places and decided to stay for more or less a year. I am also blessed that my students are happy and friendly people.
OCCUPANCY:
2 months notice to move out required.
First and last month rents payment required first day you move in.
SMOKING & Other RULES
Strictly NO SMOKING inside or outside the house. No stealing, no drugs, no pets.
Required to lock their rooms and turn off heaters, fans, lights, etc when leaving for school/work to prevent fire.
Allowed free 2 loads washer and dryer laundry weekends only. No laundry Mondays to Fridays.
No visitor or visitors are allowed without Host permission for the safety of the other Tenants.

I am a person with few words, so no surprises I hope.
