    The most comfortable away from home stay I’ve had, and the warmest of hosts.

    The property was perfect. If I had to say one thing - no teabags. But there was excellent coffee making facilities and I am British. I was often out from day to evening and there are a couple blocks that are a little ‘edgy’ south of the property. Very safe however and easy to navigate around. I was probably more cautious as a single female in an unfamiliar city. The area is otherwise an interesting historical area within easy access of everywhere. Ubers are there within minutes.

    When I arrived, my host Tom welcomed me ‘home’ and that is how it felt for the 10 nights I stayed at the property. It was safe, comfortable and a haven to return to after a busy day/ night. I rarely saw my hosts but they always enquired about my day, my plans and offered help and ideas towards the end of my trip when I was tired. Extremely comfortable and beautiful property. The design of the room is well considered and modern, it has everything you could wish for. The bed was big and supremely comfortable. Loved lying in bed watching the large TV (especially as this was a solo trip with no children or pets to get me up). Well positioned USB sockets so I could charge up my gadgets overnight within easy access. My room has a small table and chairs in a window alcove which was a nice place to plan my day and have a coffee. The shower was great as were the available toiletries and ‘little extras’. The property is very quiet, some noise early mornings due to a construction site over the road but tbh, there is construction all over the city at the moment so I think it’s unavoidable. I spent a night away at Niagara and left all my belongings knowing they were in safe hands. I returned to a fresh bed, fresh towels and a refreshed room. This was extremely thoughtful. The hosts are extremely professional and although this is their home, it felt like a 5* boutique hotel with all the facilities and small touches that showed they cared about the guests having a wonderful stay. They clearly love what they do and I would love to return in the future. I would choose Toronto as a destination to stay here again. *I failed to take any significant photo the property but have included a photo of the house over the road as it made me smile everyday when I arrived home.

    The host was very welcoming and gave good advice regarding local restaurants and transportation. The accommodation was beautiful and the location was fantastic. It is very easy to get to and from, but quiet enough to relax at night. Would definitely recommend and will definitely check availability when we return to Toronto.

    Nothing at all.

    A beautiful 3-night stay in a stunning, luxurious home. Hosts were incredibly kind and friendly, helpful with recommendations and always happy to chat. The bedroom and shared bathroom were both immaculately clean and refreshed more than once a day, with fresh towels, sanitised surfaces etc. Wonderful night's sleep, quiet and very comfortable. The price was fantastic for the quality of the stay. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you both so much!!

    Tom and Oliver were so welcoming. After a change of plans I needed something super last minute and they were more than accommodating. The property is BEAUTIFUL, so modern and clean. Due to the comfiest beds in the world, I slept like an angel. They offered a ton of amenities including a hair dryer, coffee machine and toiletries. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here, you will not be disapointed.

Its convenient location allowed us to easily explore the city on foot, adding to the overall convenience of our stay. Moreover, the hosts were exceptionally welcoming and accommodating, making our experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this accomodation for a memorable and comfortable stay in Toronto!

    There wasn't anything bad, I would definitely stay here again.

    It was definitely one of the most comfortable stays I've ever head. The house is very beautiful, quiet, clean and comfortable, it felt just like home. Although we didn't meet Tom and Olivier in person, we talked on iMessage, and they were super friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The street and the area are also lovely and they recommended us some great places nearby (definitely check Le Conciliabule Lab cafe and the House on Parliament restaurant)

    Could not fault anything.

    I cannot fault my stay here. The property was clean, beautifully detailed, peaceful and a fantastic way to spend my final night of travelling in Canada. I felt so at home and the lights, towels and Netflix gave that extra homely feel. The host was amazing, he gave me so many incredible recommendations for a day in the city and also helped me to get to the airport at the end of the day! I’m so grateful! Will be recommending this place to friends.
