Homestay in Toronto, Canada

Welcome! I'm Joseph.

About my home and location:
My home is at the Steeles and Yonge. It's about 20 mins bus ride to Finch station.
Useful locations that's walk-able (< 30 mins):
- Centerpoint Mall
- Asian grocery stores: Galleria, H-mart, Seasons Foodmart, and T&T
- Canadian grocery stores: No Frills, FreshCo, and Metro
- banks, pharmacy, medical offices, cafes, restaurants, and bars
For public transit, I can get you set up with a Presto card ($4), which comes with discounts (search "presto- perks").
With the Presto card, you still need to buy a transit pass or load it with money to properly use the transit.
