This place is just as described, and much more. I wasn’t familiar in how to get from the airport to this property, and I was also unsure as to how busy traffic would be from this location to Ajax. My brother-in-law felt it would be fairly straightforward and not too bad in terms of rush hour traffic. It turns out the traffic was never an issue no matter what direction we were coming from. The timing seemed like it could have been an issue, but during our stay —it wasn’t.
The house was welcoming, clean, and when we entered it smelled clean.
This is a renovated 2 story home in a quiet subdivision. We were trying to get as close to Ajax and Oshawa as possible, but the choices for a family of 6 adults attending a funeral were limited and did not suit our needs.
We all found the beds very comfortable, and were able to sleep a bit despite our grief during our stay. Thankfully, bedding, pillows, towels, shampoo, and body soap were provided for personal care and stay needs.
With that many adults under one roof 2 full bathrooms are definitely needed and it was nice to have a tub available on the top floor and a shower stall on the main floor. The rainfall shower heads in both bathrooms always make a shower feel like an experience for those who haven’t yet.
On the main level, a nice sectional couch, dining room table, full sized side by side fridge and freezer with ice maker and filtered drinking water. Microwave, stove/oven, and dishwasher make for a modern galley kitchen and open to the living room and dining room. Keurig coffee maker with coffee pods, sugar, and whitener, oil, salt and pepper are provided as standard available extras. Plus the cupboards and drawers are filled with flatware, dishes and glasses, cooking utensils and other items needed to cook with. There is a patio door to the backyard, but we visited when we couldn’t use the pool in the backyard, it will be a great addition to any AirBnB experience in the summer. Great area for walking along the ravine in behind the backyard.
At the back door is the washer and dryer supplied with soap and dryer sheets. As well as, home cleaning supplies and garbage bags. We do not have to separate our trash yet, but the illustration provided was helpful in separating into organic, trash, and recycling. Quan was our very efficient, responsive, and kind host. He met us at the property to give us a tour, show us keyless entry, and ready to answer our questions. Very thoughtful in showing sympathy and caring.
All of my family members stated they would definitely recommend this property. For some of us, it was a first time experience, and for others it was a very pleasant stress free stay.
Thanks again Quan.
