About our home
We have a house in the Annex in Toronto that was completely renovated in 2003 and converted into two apartments. Our apartment is half of the second floor and all of the third floor. It's bright and spacious and the ceilings are high. We take good care of it and the kitchen and main bathroom were renovated 5 years ago. We have a huge garden with a new cedar deck, a fire pit, and parking. It is walking distance to the ROM, the AGO, U of T, Kensington Market, HotDocs Cinema, and so many delicious restaurants. Also a 3-minute walk to two subway lines.
We are open to nearby swaps any time, and farther away/international swaps for 2022.
There are two bedrooms with queen-size beds, and a third-floor sitting room that can accommodate a futon on the floor. We have a ten year-old cat named Felix who comes with the house. He is healthy and independent but needs a little bit of care (feeding him and making sure he is inside for the night in the colder months).

“We had another wonderful stay at Dinah's house. Everything is communicated well! Her house feels like a true home away from home. It is cozy, eclectic, clean and welcoming. It's central location and proximity to the subway cannot be beat. We would gladly welcome another opportunity to visit again in the future. ”
“We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Dinah and Zoe are excellent hosts!”
“Dinah was an awesome host! She always responded to me promptly, provided thorough details regarding her house and nearby attractions, and offered to move furniture around to accommodate one of my younger children. Her house is eclectic and tidy with all necessary amenities. I especially appreciated (and took note of) her personal environmentally-friendly and organic lifestyle. I hope to stay here again in the future. ”
“Dinah and Zoe were wonderful, communicative guests who made the most of a couple of misty/rainy days and a little bit of sunshine. They respected my home as though it was their own and I would be very happy to have them back anytime. Great guests!”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Tucked in the heart of the University of Toronto is the historic neighbourhood of Huron-Sussex. The best of both worlds--a leafy, quiet neighbourhood that is steps away from many of Toronto's most interesting places. Walking, biking, or transit will get you easily from here to everywhere you might want to explore. And when you are tired of exploring, spend some time in the garden or on the rooftop deck.
