ABOUT YOUR HOSTS. Your hosts, Loreen and Geoffrey, are a semi-retired professional couple who have welcomed international, TMU, and University of Toronto students, academics and doctors since 2010. We are approved with the Homestay Certification.

This has been our home for 39 years and where we raised our children. When our grown children left home to live in Paris and Calgary we decided to host guests to fill the vacant space in the large home. It has been such an interesting experience and we have gained friends all around the world.

As experienced hosts, we welcome guests into our home and are proud to provide recommendations for an excellent, authentic, downtown experience. Our regular mode of transportation is walking, biking, and subway.

We are very active and love to cook healthy organic food with frittata as a specialty. Geoffrey is an author, Loreen is a coach and consultant, we both work from home. We love to stay informed on what is happening in our community and the world. Both English and French is spoken.
