Room was spacious, clean & comfortable. Binh was courteous, went above & beyond in welcoming me when I set foot with 4 suitcases. Overall great affordable place for short term stays (mine was 23 nights)

Even though I only stayed for 2 days, the room was cozy and clean. The host and other guests were very friendly and kind. The neighborhood is close to a mall and a subway station; you can reach Pioneer Village station within 5 minutes by bus.

Me encantó quedarme en casa de Michelle. Tenía mi espacio, había silencio, y había supermercados y transporte público cerca del lugar.

1. Clean and welcoming.
2. Great communication
3. Easy sign in process
4. Close to 35 Jane and 960 SteelesThis was a great stay for me. I had to be downtown for most of my stay and was concerned about how far it was. But it's a five minute walk to the bus and a five minute ride to Pioneer Village Station. Then 45 minutes to Union. Perfect. The room was clean, sheets were clean. And a nice spacious bathroom.
Thank you for a stress free stay!
