Ann’s pied-à-terre was exactly what we were looking for! The apartment complex was quiet (the only time we ever heard anybody was when they were in the hall, which was brief and non-disruptive) and it was easy to make our way to the central and western parts of downtown Toronto via public transit. The entire Beaches neighbourhood is very cute with lots of interesting local business and the beach 5 minutes away on foot!
The room itself was cozy and spotless, and it was exactly what we needed to come back to after a long day on our feet. The bed and pillows were especially comfortable. Don’t worry about it being a meyer bed—it’s surprisingly roomy!
Ann was friendly and responsive, and any questions or small difficulties we had were addressed and resolved immediately. Instructions for checking in and out were clear and detailed, and we were able to follow them without any issues. There was also a very helpful binder with recommended eats for any meal of the day, as well as entertainment options around the Beaches neighbourhood. Complementary cold drinks, tea, coffee (including a small carton of milk!) plus shampoo/conditioner and body wash ensured that even our smallest needs had been take care of, letting us focus on our trip instead.
We will certainly be staying at Ann’s pied-à-terre again if the opportunity arises, and if you’re looking for small but comfortable accommodations with a wonderful host we highly recommend Ann’s place.
