I don’t think words can fully describe how wonderful our experience was.From the first night we arrived, Bruce stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed.He brought extra large carpets so our baby could play on.Although it was almost -30°C outside, the house was always perfectly warm. Whenever we needed anything, he responded immediately and did everything he could to help.He also constantly cleared the snow before we even had a chance,despite heavy snowfall.The house was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equiped.And the charging stations were very useful.They let us use their garage.We loved the backyard and our daughter enjoyed watching squirrels and rabbits.They also gave gifts to our children which meant a lot.Our daughter loved Bruce and Marilyn.She still talks about him.When it was time to leave they hugged us goodbye and even helped us carry our belongings.We stayed in many places before but we never experienced such genuine hospitality.

We had an excellent stay at Bruce’s place. The apartment was exactly as described and shown in the pictures, and it felt like home. The apartment is well equipped and has thoughtful touches that made our stay very comfortable. The apartment itself is spacious and lovely. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bathroom is very clean and spacious, and the rooms are comfortable. Bruce was an outstanding host. He is friendly, kind and responsive. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, even though everything was so well provided that we didn’t really need to request anything else. He was always ready to help and frequently checked in to make sure everything was fine. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend!

This house is amazing, it is very equipped, very clean, great beds, great kitchen and a porch+ backyard with bbq. It has a very good parking spot that is easy. We had a long stay, extended the days and was great place for our whole family. We are super grateful for being able to find a temporary home in this house

I honestly have so much to say about this incredible host and beautiful apartment, but words alone may not do it justice. From the very first day we checked in, it felt like home for me and the kids. The apartment was far beyond what we expected; warm, spotless, and thoughtfully arranged. “Mr. Bruce,” as my daughter lovingly called him, was nothing short of exceptional. He treated us with such kindness and care, always just a message away whenever we needed anything. His wife was equally gracious, a true angel with a constant, welcoming smile. When my sister gave birth during our stay, they went above and beyond to surprise her with a thoughtful gift. That act alone left us deeply touched. The neighborhood itself was peaceful, clean, and ideal for a restful stay. Every part of this experience was worth every dollar spent. Thank you, Bruce, for making us feel so at home, even while we were miles away from our own.

We had a great stay at Bruce's place. Bruce was incredibly responsive to all my questions and requests! He provided a stroller, high chair, and pack and play, which made our trip go very smoothly with an infant and toddler. I highly recommend this beautiful spot!

We stayed as a family of four with our toddler and infant. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The area is a nice neighborhood, a perk was the playground across the street for our toddler. The hosts were super responsive and accommodating. Easy check in, no hastles with parking, spacious bedrooms. Definitely would recommend staying here!

Our family of 5 very much enjoyed our stay. I especially appreciate the attention to detail that the hosts put into making their place inviting and kid friendly - the blocks, play couch and high chair were clutch!

Bruce's house suited our family perfectly for a recent trip to Toronto. It's in a great location to get downtown but also go out to the Toronto Zoo. Bruce provided excellent recommendations for what to do in the area with young kids, our family had a blast!
