WE ACCEPT FEMALES NON-SMOKER Students, Interns and more. FEATURES: Downtown old Toronto location, double bed, big windows, hardwood floors, wall-to-wall mirrors, newly installed drinking water filter (saves you $25/mo), newly installed bidet in both washrooms (saves you buying toilet paper), on-site one load free laundry Saturday OR Sunday weekends only, with no hidden fees, no surprises! Welcome to Toronto! I'm Chinga, your host. I lived in my downtown old Toronto house for 42 years and never have a problem. My place is located right in the heart of the City and is near two popular parks with large public tennis courts and basketball courts: Trinity Bellwood Park and Stanley Park. We are surrounded by 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 old Toronto has energy priority. If you want to experience living in a safe home in downtown Toronto, live with us. Another reason students like my house is that the walls are covered with mirrors from the entrance hallway, to the living room, dining room, washroom and bedrooms. Our place is near Lake Ontario so fresh air especially at night, comes in handy. University of Toronto, TMU 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. No curfew. You are mature enough; I don't need to monitor you. 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. It is very safe even to walk from the subway to my place at night, especially since patrolling police cars and taxis are all over both streets. Our house is also secured by a home security CCTV and doorbell camera to shun intruders. Included in the rent are use of bed linens specially Korean blankets for winter, electricity, hot/cold water, cold filtered drinking water, basic cookwares, kitchenwares, dishes like plates, bowls, spoons & forks, unlimited wifi, free TV Netflix and once a week free use of the washer/dryer (on weekends only). NOTE that you are responsible for your own supplies: bathroom supplies like toilet paper, soap/shampoo, towel, kitchen food supplies like meat, eggs, veggies, condiments; and laundry supplies like detergent and stuff. Note also that we don't offer meals of any kind. You will have your own kitchen shelf, fridge shelf and for winter boots shoe shelf. For nightly cooking, I offer the use of Rice cooker, Air Fryer, water Kettle, Toaster, Keurig coffee maker and Microwave Oven. You are responsible for washing your own dishes after EACH use and cleaning up the mess you created around the house, bringing your own garbage to the bins in respect to the other people living here. You are provided with a house slipper, as no shoes are allowed to use inside the house. You are also provided with a large garbage can in your room. Make sure you sort them as GREEN food bin, BLACK garbage bin and BLUE recycle bin when disposing. ROOMS: 1) This WHITE room overlooks the CN Tower, fully furnished with beddings and thick winter blankets for winter, has a double bed, big window, white matching furniture with a 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, and a window aircon for summertime only.

House rulesMy place has newly been renovated, it featuring clean rooms with no clutter around the house. Students maintain their rooms and the house quite well so I expect you to do the same and help maintain the house. They especially like the simplicity of my rules and the low rental fee when compared to other homestay.

- LAUNDRY:
- Use of washer and dryer: One load anytime on Saturday OR Sunday only. No laundry Monday-Friday. You buy your own detergent and fabric softener. I will laundry your bedsheets and give you a clean one every 3 weeks. You are responsible for removing the lints accumulated inside the dryer in respect for the next person to use it. Please ask for Landlord if you need assistance on how to use the washer and dryer.
- KITCHEN:
- No meal of any kind is provided. You buy your own cooked food and grocery supplies from nearby restaurants and grocery stores. You are provided with your own cabinet shelf to store dry foods and condiments. Please buy small items that will fit inside your shelf like oil and soy sauce. You are also provided a white kitchen towel to dry your plates and cutleries. Please keep your shelf organized, clean and tidy to keep away unwanted insects. Also please avoid using someone elses plates and cutleries to avoid COVID. Make sure you clear the dish drainer for the next person to use it. You are also provided a shelf inside the fridge. Please buy small items that fit inside your fridge shelf.
- Light cooking—breakfast in the morning and a meal after school/work—is a privilege I added. No cooking at lunch time Monday to Friday. You are responsible for washing your own dishes after each use, putting them away on your shelf, and cleaning up any mess you created, like cleaning the counter, oven and sweeping the floor you messed up, out of respect for the next person to use the kitchen. Please dispose and sort your garbage in the 3 bins in front of the garage sorted by food waste, clean recycle and dirty garbage.

- PAYMENT:
- A non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total rent is required to save the room. The remaining 75% is due when you arrive, plus a $500 security deposit. The $500 security deposit is refunded when you leave provided it is not used. Example of when it is used: If you lose your keys.
- KEYS:
- I give you 3 keys: 2 for the front door and one for your room. Each key costs about $12including tax. If you lose 3 keys, $12*3=$36. $36 will be deducted from your security deposit. Also, please Google "STUDENT LOST HOMESTAY KEYS". Another reason for deduction is if you break a window or plate, etc. For more info, we can discuss it in person or via email and/or phone.
