Please note due to the older nature of this home it is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. There are many level changes and the stairs to the upper level are steep and narrow. Anyone with balance issues may have issues. To ensure everyone has a comfortable experience, I kindly ask that guests treat the space with the same care and respect as they would their own home. Out of consideration for my neighbours, please keep noise to a minimum—especially during evening hours. While you're welcome to relax and unwind, parties and events are not permitted. 🛏️ The primary bedroom is situated in an open-concept upper level, creating a bright and airy space. Please note that it does not have a door. The second bedroom is enclosed and has a door. 🚫 Please note that smoking, vaping, or the use of cannabis is not allowed inside the suite. 🕚 Check-out time is 11:00 AM. 📋 After booking, you’ll need to complete a short guest registration form—it only takes a minute. Travel Tip: 🛬 Flying into Toronto Pearson International Airport? I highly recommend the UP Express train. It’s a smooth 25-minute ride to Union Station with free WiFi onboard. From there, it’s just a quick 5-minute Uber or taxi to the building—super convenient and a great way to skip city traffic! 🏋️‍♂️ There’s a GoodLife Fitness Gym not far away in Liberty Village. It's a great option for guests looking to stay active during their visit. Be sure to check the GoodLife website — they often offer complimentary workout passes for new visitors! 🚗 If you require parking, there is street permit parking. That said, a car isn’t necessary to enjoy your stay — the neighbourhood is incredibly walkable, with countless shops, cafes, and attractions just steps away. Plus, public transit is nearby, making it easy to explore the city without the hassle of driving. As my home is on a pedestrian only street, driving to the front of the home is not possible. 🧻 To help you settle in comfortably, we provide a starter supply of essentials at the beginning of your stay — including items like toilet paper, paper towels, soap, laundry detergent, dish pods, etc. Please note that we do not replenish these items during your stay. Should you need more, there are several nearby stores for easy restocking. 🚨 In the event of an emergency, dial 911 for police, fire, or ambulance services. The emergency exit route is through the front door and down the building’s stairwells. Please do not use the elevator during an emergency. I want you to fully enjoy your stay—these simple rules help ensure a great experience for everyone. Thanks for your cooperation!
