Everything was super wonderful...the suite had comfortable furnishings and was easy to find the location. We did not get to stay and use the hottub or spend the night due to health emergency. Looking forward to another stay in the future.

Great large functional space! Enjoyed hot tub time, which was in a nice private space. And it was super special to us to be able to bring our dogs so thank you so much! Chris was extra helpful in ensuring we could watch the Jays game- as a host he was above and beyond!

Chris was lovely and the space was huge! Loved having the two bedrooms comfy leather couches and doing our laundry. Parking has a clear sign, great lighting on pathway in the dark, and quiet area! Only downside was the steps getting to and from basement apartment but that's to be expected.

Nice place to stay, guests responded immediately to any questions. Recommend having a window that would open and the main couch springs are wore out and you sink down. These are only suggestions we loved our stay.Keith and Angela

This place had a super cool vibe and everything you could possibly need to cook for yourself. There was snacks if you were hungry, work out equipment, a hot tub, very spacious living room and so much more! The hockey memorabilia was my favourite part!
