Stephanie is a pleasant host. The space is at the back of the house with a nice view of trees and greenery. We stayed for a week and the kitchen had mostly what we needed to get through making meals. A larger pan would be helpful as well as some coffee pods. The washer and dryer (detergent supplied) are wonderful if you plan on staying long enough to need to wash a few things, especially if with children. You can hear noise from upstairs as there is a family with children so be aware of this if planning on having a quiet time or sleeping in. Otherwise, we were happy with the accommodations and it suited our needs for our stay in Kitchener.

It’s a comfortable, clean space love the ambiance. However getting to the entrance and operating the lock is problematic in the evening for late checking in. The pavers-walkway are not well laid which could result in a fall and the outside walkway to the entrance is not not well lit. Stephanie is a good hostess. I enjoyed being there. I will stay there in my future visit to the area.

Me and my partner stayed here for just under 3 weeks. I found the place lovely and comfortable for what we needed. The place was clean and everything easy to use. Only issue I would say is to have a bigger frying pan for cooking or a 2nd one. The host Stephanie I felt was brilliant she checked in with us to see if there was anything she could do to help. The location is quiet with fantastic running/walking trails but is also not far from the shops and restaurants. I would recommended this place for a quiet stay where you can use it as a hub to travel around.

We stayed two nights. After traveling all over the USA and Ontario in VRBO this is the first one that did NOT offer coffee, There is a coffee machine on counter, I asked about where the coffee was, I was given a map of the nearest Tim Hortons by the host.We had trouble with the induction plates, Only one worked, the host just sent us instructions on how to work them. If you are planning on cooking breakfast here there is only one five inch frying pan the kitchen is scantily stocked for meal preparation or dishes/ glasses. No toaster, dishwasher no puckslight hanging from ceiling of bathroom and one of the bedroom doors had a hole in it just below door handle. Would not come back

A Simple Escape was exactly that- a no fuss haven that was economical and comfortable. Stephanie was super responsive to our queries. The unit was so clean and comfy. The kitchen was fine for us getting a quick breakfast, and the bathroom had everything we needed. I highly recommend Stephanie as a host and A Simple Escape for your next stay in Kitchener!
