After traveling for 15 hours this was the perfect place to stay. The shower was wonderful. Each room was beautifully decorated. Bed was so comfortable. It's worth the hour commute into the city for an amazing price and great quality.

Cute place!

This is a great little quiet place! Clean, nice neighbourhood, listing looks just like the real thing. I stayed here with my teenager for a sports competition nearby and it was a perfect place for us to cook healthy meals and test comfortably! Wish we had more time to check out an art class. Would definitely stay here again!

Eras Tour Stay

We stayed here while we were in town for the Eras Tour in November 2024. We absolutely loved our stay. It was a great and affordable alternative to the busy and expensive down town. Getting down town was very easy using the transit system, which is a quick walk away.There are a lot of cute restaurants and shops within walking distance.The unit was very clean, cute, and decorated nicely.Communicating with the owner was easy, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Location

My partner and I stayed for a little over a week while I recovered from surgery. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Very convenient location to grocery stores and good restaurants. Some noise from upstairs during art classes but it wrapped up before bedtime. Sadly due to circumstances we were not able to partake in a complimentary art class but the opportunity is certainly a perk for anyone with a creative interest.

We had an overall good time at Bita's. However we expected a cleaner environment (especially the kitchen cupboards and windows). The bath was really nice and clean. Bita and her husband are very friendly and answered super quickly. We did not complain about the WiFi, but the signal was not strong enough to reach the bedrooms. We were told to turn on the exhausterfan when using the stove, wich was helpful. However even with it turned all the way on, there was so much smoke building, that we weren't able to properly use the stove during our stay. We are very grateful for our stay in this quiet and sweet neighbourhood

Excellent place for a quick getaway!

Although there were some uncharacteristic issues with the cleanliness of the property, the host was quick to communicate, explain and respond to our issues reported. This property is close to the GO transit line, and central to Richmond Hill, Thornhill, and an easy commute to the 404/407 by car. If you have a car and wish to go downtown, parking at Finch subway station is the best route and an easy 30 minute commute via subway all the way to the lakeshore. If you are scent sensitive, you may wish to let the host know in advance so that plug ins and a non-scented detergent can be used for your linens. The beds were firm but super comfortable, and the unit was fully stocked for cooking. Overall, an enjoyable place to stay short term:)

Excellent Space

The apartment was well-structured, spotlessly clean, and had a lot of storage space for clothing, books, whatever. Visitors can unpack easily -- even for a longer stay. The fridge and freezer are large, stove works well, and the small appliances were all in good condition and just what we needed. We enjoyed the neighborhood, which is very diverse, with lots of options for cuisine. The public transport into Toronto is excellent (easier with a Presto card that can be purchased at Shopper's Drug Mart) and takes about an hour -- well worth the time to avoid traffic and parking! The one day we were in the apartment during the day, the art class upstairs could be heard, but it was not excessive in any way and everything was done by supper time. In short, a good choice if you are willing to be a little bit out of the city proper. The hosts checked in every couple of days to make sure everything was okay and to offer help if need be. They were great.
