Need a comfy place to WFH? Need to stay close to hospitals? Just need to get away from people for a few days? Relax and unwind in my personal two-story, 3-bedroom apartment! Fast Wifi, fully stocked kitchen, bathroom, living space and lovely outside deck area to relax and enjoy. Steps to University of Toronto + Kensington Market. Just north of the entertainment district, 15-min walk to Eaton Centre, 5-min walk to major subway line and University Health Network hospitals.
I welcome you to use my home in my two story apartment in a house in Baldwin Village to take some me time. Whether you’re exploring the city, need a quiet place to work from home, a place to sleep close to the hospitals, or just need your space, my apartment is a great place to stay.
Traditionally I rent out two rooms in my house separately as shared spaces, but since 2020 I am offering the entire apartment while I travel for work which includes my personal bedroom.
There are 3 bedrooms in my apartment. The first bedroom is on the first floor of the two-story apartment, and can accommodate up to two people comfortably in the queen-sized bed. The room has a desk for working and a dresser in the closet to store your belongings and make you feel at home. It’s very comfortable and bright, and although the room is on the cozy side, the rest of the apartment more than makes up for it!
The second bedroom is in the basement with a private ensuite half bathroom. This room can accommodate up to 2 people comfortably in a queen sized bed. The room has a desk, shelves with books to peruse, as well as a dresser and a large closet to store your belongings. The room is the only space in the basement so you’ll have a lot of privacy. It’s very spacious and bright even though there are no direct windows to the outside.
The third bedroom is on the second floor of the two story apartment. This room can accommodate up to 2 people comfortably in a queen sized bed. The room has a desk and is very spacious, comfortable and bright. This is my personal bedroom so it contains my personal belongings with no access to the closet or dresser.
You are invited to use the rest of the space including the living room, main bathroom and large second floor deck, which is a perfect place to relax and marvel at the CN Tower over your morning coffee/tea. You are welcome to cook in my fully equipped kitchen, do your laundry, and enjoy the cable TV and Internet on your down time.
Included:
Linens
Towels

I take being a good host seriously, and I am a proud “Hostfully Host”. This means when you stay with me, I will send you a Hostfully guidebook link. The guidebook contains all the essential information about our home, as well as recommendations all over the city. It’s easy to navigate, and if you are out and about, you can access it from your phone.
You have access to the entire apartment and 1 parking space. Occasionally a second space is available but please ask me in advance!
Traditionally I rent out two rooms in my house separately as shared spaces, but I rent out my entire apartment while I travel for work.
I will be staying home with my family during this time so will be unavailable in person. I will provide you with an extensive guide to help answer any questions you may have.

To ensure you have a wonderful stay, we’ve equipped this home with a Minut sensor. It monitors noise (but does not record sound), occupancy, temperature and humidity, helping us keep our home and our neighbourhood safe, healthy and comfortable. It notifies us if it gets too loud, to ensure all guests have a pleasant stay and our neighbours are not disturbed.
