A great place and great host, both totally recommended! My family of three spent a week at Suzanne’s place and it was a really nice spot from which to explore Toronto on our first visit to the city. We hope to come back and when we do I’ll be looking to see if Suzanne’s apartment is available again.
The apartment is clean and stylish, with cozy touches that elevate it beyond a hotel room with a kitchen. You get what you see in the listing and more. We enjoyed the books, the nice throw on the couch, good-smelling towels, and big and squashy pillows. :) Our trip involved lots of daytime adventures so the tub was a nice plus for soaking in the evening, too. Speaking of the tub— ample hot water! We never ran out and it came out quite hot indeed! Will be great for winter visitors.
I can tell that Suzanne takes hosting seriously. She was communicative but never intrusive. If you stay with her and have any questions, just ask!
It felt like the apartment was prepared thoughtfully for visitors, and throughout our stay we kept finding things that made time there better and more convenient. The kitchen was seriously the best, it made me want to cook on vacation! The living room window faces green space and lets in a lot of light if you open the blinds. The longer we were there the more we appreciated the location, it was easy to get to both Christie and Ossington stations, and it really is right across the street from Christie Pits Park. Enjoy the smells of Banjara if you walk from Christie station! Koreatown is full of milk tea places and food. Totally recommend that you get cash and buy a few fresh taiyaki at PAT!
As a few other reviewers have noted, the apartment is around family homes, so know that it is peaceful but not an entirely silent space (kids may play near that living room window, etc.). We very rarely found the ambient noise intrusive and when I spoke to Suzanne about noise we did find intrusive from another tenant, she addressed it immediately and we had no other problems. I really can’t say enough good about our stay and definitely recommend Suzanne’s apartment for families or individual travels.
