😠 They just take advantage of the inexperience and lack of situation of the newly arrived students and exploit this. There is also a person named Erdem in Toronto, you can know any Turk you ask, you can listen to the swear words about him by asking a lot and laughing. People often mention Homestay, great, clean, students, staff, recommend, stay, experience, Toronto, room,

    The staff is great and so are their services. I like how they have an arcade room for entertainment and also a common kitchen where you can cook for yourself. They provide free coffee and fruits at the dining area in the morning.🫶🏻🇨🇦

    I had the most wonderful experience with EKC. They answered all my questions any time of the day! They were so helpful and quick! From the moment I arrived, I witnessed their support. They took me from the airport and drove me to my homestay location, helped me to get my transportation card, phone card, they even helped me to make student credit card application. I have to mention that I had the sweetest host family! Even though, they are already a big family, they included me to their family and I felt like home! We eat together, play games, go out, watch movies and so much more! I really appreciate the hospitality and professionalism of EKC family! Thank you so much!

    I have been staying with EKC Homestay Corporation about 6 months now. The owner Erdem is very hard-working and making sure that everything works properly in the houses. It is not only my house but other houses as well as I’ve heard from some of my friends who live in the homestay that EKC has provided. There is inspections are being done constantly every week. So, the mutual areas in the house are always clean. Erdem and his team are greeting you perfectly when you arrive in Canada and they take care of mostly your every request and treat you as nice as possible. I am pretty happy about getting to know this team along with their homestay style.

    I've been staying in the North York for over 1 month and this place is excellent and everyone is helpful and friendly.The rooms are clean and fully furnished. The location of the place is 5 minutes from North York Center Station. You can easily reach groceries, banks and coffee houses via pathway that goes under the building! I would definitely recommend it to students and young professionals.

    EKC Homestay was the perfect place for me to stay while I attended my college which is Toronto School of Management. I stayed there for 1 years and never had any complaints. The staff is amazing and they have amazing events all year long that keeps students engaged socially and academically. It allowed me to meet some great friends while still focusing on my academics effortlessly. EKC Homestay is a great place for students, no matter what year of studies they are in. EKC Homestay’s amenities such as the gym and abundance of study spaces really helps you feel at home (pun intended). The apartment styles are also a big plus as it makes it feel more accommodating than regular student residences, and they also include all kitchen supplies! I would recommend any student who wants to enjoy a great college experience to stay at EKC Homestay, especially if you are attending Toronto School of Management which is only a 8 min away.

    During my trip, The EKC Homestay helped whenever I called them. The room provided to me was quite clean and safe. I found what I needed in the room. Moreover I enjoyed Toronto a lot thanks to the experienced crew in the EKC homestay corporation. They guided me to the great spots of Toronto including Niagara Falls. I appreciate them.

    Had a fantastic customer service experience with Erdem. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout our interaction. Erdem listened to my concerns, provided thorough answers, and went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. He was proactive, offering valuable suggestions and alternatives, and his prompt communication made the process seamless thank you for all.

    I got to live in a very clean and secure building. All the amenities were included, with a gym and pool that I got to enjoy all summer. The building was centrally located and I was close to everything downtown in Toronto. EKC Homestay was helpful in keeping me up to date with any Information I needed regarding my rental and rent.

    The management is highly knowledgeable and professional. I stayed with EKC HOMESTAY for 8 months and I would very much recommend them to anyone, (especially new students). They have made the stressful process of finding housing in Toronto easier and provide high quality housing. Erdem is honestly one of the best & most helpful person you'll meet. He has helped me with every small issue I have had during my stay. He has a quick response time..

    My experience with EKC HOMESTAY was great. The staff was always very good to me and my roommates, if we needed anything for the apartment they were quick to fix it. My room was quite comfortable, it had a large bed, it also had TV, a desk, chair and lamp where I could study very comfortably. The kitchen had all the necessary instruments and the bathroom was also always very good. I totally recommend EKC HOMESTAY !!!

    Rented with them at the parkside condo for about 3 years and they're very supportive and communicative despite the building's constantly changing management and rules! Erdem and Emin were very quick to respond to any issues and are really nice people. Made my 3 years stint at Liberty Village (especially during the pandemic) really convenient and memorable!

    EKCHOMESTAY is the best.. this is why.. The unit was nice, clean and modern. The building seems to lack other problems I’ve heard other Toronto apartment buildings have . Absolutely no problems with hot water, elevators or even fire alarms! You’d have fire alarms rarely go off unlike other buildings where fire alarms are blasted on repeat annoyingly and even when they did it was only for a minute or two max.The biggest pro is the management, I was put into contact with Daniel who helped manage all my queries and he has been the most helpful and friendly manager I’ve come across.Any problem I had I’d text him and I was responded to quickly.I had to deal with a very annoying roommate who’d play music really loudly and Daniel was quick and persistent in dealing with him.He also arranged a place for me to stay for a couple of days after my lease was over and I was in between places and had nowhere to stay, that was a huge relief.If I didn’t have to move in with my brother I’d definitely ex

    EKC homestay is the best company ever I’ve been living at home for almost a full academic year now and I have honestly enjoyed my stay here. I am staying in a 2 bedroom suite that is definitely larger than most dorm rooms I’ve seen. I enjoy the community and appreciate the fact that the suite was both furnished and came with cooking utensils. The kitchen and living room area are both very spacious which is great cause there’s lots of room for guests too. I plan to stay here over the next 2 years of College.

    I have lived EKC Homestay for 3 years now and have had an amazing experience. The staff are friendly and the community is supportive. The EKC Team’s staff work hard to create a safe welcoming environment for us students, especially through the various events they put on throughout the year. I would recommend to everyone to live in EKC as I made my best friends there.

    EKC Homestay is so welcoming and kind! They are so helpful with setting up everything it makes transitioning to Canada so much easier than doing it yourself. In today's economy it's almost impossible to find a reasonably priced place to live but EKC does all the hard work for you. Thanks EKC!

    They have a great team that takes care of all the critical processes with you the day after you arrive in Toronto. We completed transactions such as SIN, bank account, presto card, phone number in 2 hours. The house is very beautiful, as it was mentioned before I came here, everything was complete and clean. Thank you EKC for everything.

  • 5/5 Home S. 1 year ago on Google
    As someone who has lived here for more than 8 months, I don't really have many negative things to say. Surely the building is expensive but it's reasonable when compared to other buildings nearby and the services EKC provides. The EKC Homestay staff have always been so welcoming to me and have addressed any of my concerns in a professional and timely manner. As a student, I truly appreciate the in-suite cleaning provided as well as the programming/events that are planned to help build community. This building is still fairly new and you can tell the staff is trying their best to resolve all the "kinks" that come with a new building. They also provide us students with opportunities and workshops that can be useful depending on your area of study. Overall, my experience has been great!

  • 5/5 Sinan A. 1 year ago on Google
    I have lived at EKC Homestay since the start of last summer. When someone leaves a 5 star rating for a student residence, it's a given that the personal interactions and facilities are exceptional. The focus of my review is based on my experience over the last 2 weeks. With the global pandemic going on and a lot of students and their parents concerned, it's very comforting to see how EKC Homestay is really trying to keep the cleanest possible environment especially for public areas (the desk, the gym, and the big common/study room on the second floor). The staff diligently follow sanitary protocols and the maintenance crew regularly sanitize the high traffic areas (at least twice but maybe more: day and night). It's just a very reassuring response to current events especially if you consider, as a student, that this building is the only for student residence that is still operating to accommodate students who are not able to move out and go home easily (this is the only EKC Homestay residence open to upper years). I just think that EKC Homestay's response to the situation is very admirable and I can certainly feel the dedication to reassure the residents that staff are doing everything diligently for the sake of public health

    Overall, the area around the house was clean and quiet, so it was a very pleasant place to live! Above all, it was nice that I never experienced any major noise or damage at home!! Thank you for helping me process it quickly :) When I came to Canada, I had a lot of questions and unfamiliar things, but it was easier to adapt with their help!

  • 5/5 Ilgaz B. 7 months ago on Google
    When I heard stories from other homestay friends,they highly recommended Ekc Homestay, House is not over crowded and very clean, the air conditioning works great here and it’s great! The heating will probably work well too! There's a washing machine and dryer inside the house, so it's easy to do laundry, and the clothes room is spacious, so I think it would be good for people like me who brought a lot of clothes! :) I especially like that it's so close to the station that you can go anywhere.

  • 1/5 MAK Property S. 6 months ago on Google
    WORST COMPANY! No customer service is available for EKC. Staff doesn’t answer calls, emails or texts when you want to discuss the deposits they are taking. DO NOT USE EKC. This is a very bad business run by very immature people. They leave fake bad reviews on my business MAK because I was honest with my review…very immature Mehmet. He told me that he was sick and begged me to remove the review I left. When will I get the deposit for the damages Mehmet?

    We'd first met Erdem in 2020 at the airport in Toronto; and since then we've been in contact with him and his professional staff. They always do their best inordet to make you glad. Especially for the interantional students, I think EKC is the best address for accomodation in Canada. Selected families, nice locations and well kept houses. Thanks for all..

    We have been working with EKC Homestay for more than 4 years, they are doing their best for each student. Even during busy times they were super helpful to find accommodation for our students and once during the pandemic they provided help to deliver mask to our students. The prices they offer are reasonable and they are so flexible as much as possible to the students. Even one of my student right now is a general manager of the company. We are so proud and feeling grateful. We are happy to work as a business solution partner with EKC Homestay !!

  • 5/5 Ege G. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    My experience with EKC Homestay is impeccable. They have very friendly staff who are availeble 7/24. If you have any problem with anything, they are there to help you out. Their homes are quite clean and all of them are really close to transportation hubs. I chose where I WANT TO live rather than where I HAVE TO live. If you are looking for a place to stay in Toronto, I would 100% recommend them.
