Staying here was much better than most hotels I've been in. Everything you need is in the suite. A fridge, kitchen, bathroom, wifi, comfortable bed, and a few small extras. There is also parking and laundry. My host, Ovie, was extremely nice and accomodating. He also went above and beyond when I had to extend my stay by an extra day due to unplanned events while I was in town. I would love to come back here again the next time I visit.

The host is very nice, generous, helpful and makes sure everything is ok. He provides so many foods for free. Though a bit out of the city, the transportation is very easy. The bus stop is right in front of the property. Also easy to the airport

Loved the private entrance - beautiful ground floor apartment within an easy walk to the beach. Fantastic hospitality - coffee and basic items included, sparkling clean bathroom. The bed was super comfortable and the location is very quiet. Ms. Eugenia the owner is wonderfully welcoming as is her daughter Katya.

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)

Home in Downtown is a nice, very very secure home, warm feel and welcoming. You are to yourself, treating and respecting the purpose of your stay here, following the basic guidelines given in the home. It is spacious and extremely clean. If you had a issues at all, the owner is near by to help or simply respond via a text. Transportation is on your doorstep, which is only a 5 minute Streetcar ride to the nearest TTC train/subway to take your journey if desired that extra step. Recomend however to get a Presto Card, either get at arriving airport or the nearest Shoppers or TTC station. The Guest House beds are very comfy, good storage space. Depending how long you are staying, a wardrobe stay may be not an option, it's more living out of your suitcase situation, but to store your luggage in your room is doable. Shared bathroom which may be a shock, but our stay here it was no problem at all. The kitchen and living area is open to all who are staying, with very generous offers from the owner, I was shocked how trusting this system works. A secured front door lock, cameras plotted around the property for all secured reasons, for you the guest and the owner. I would stay here again, and say yes if you are looking for that not over budget accommodation. You can understand why the ratings are in the 9's on Booking.com.

Dar Yiu

From

I had a wonderful stay! The host truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was comfortable and well taken care of. The townhouse is newly built, spotless, and thoughtfully maintained. The shared kitchen is clean and organized, and the other professionals in the house are respectful and considerate of the space. It really felt like a home away from home — I’d happily stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, modern, and welcoming place.

We got the room with the kitchen, it was fully equipped and so clean. Hosts were very nice and welcoming. The room was spacious, had storage for our stuff and the bed very comfortable. There are 2 beach chairs and beach towels provided by the lovely hosts. The street car is up the street and brings you directly downtown, perfect location for a beach and city TO visit. We loved our stay, wish we would have stayed longer!
