Private open concept Beach Studio steps to Lake

Welcome to our private, open concept, cozy studio in the trendy Beach neighbourhood. Secluded street one minute walk from the lake. Steps from the TTC, (Public Transit), Queen St. East shopping, restaurants and bars.

The space

Welcome to the Beach!

The Studio:
This is a private and cozy, non-smoking, pet-free, open-concept basement apartment that is newly furnished and fully equipped.

** Please take notice: In our continued efforts to be transparent, this is a centenarian home in an historic, beautiful and quaint, old neighbourhood. The house has its own quirks and as in all old homes sounds can travel. We have tenants upstairs, if you're sensitive to the footsteps that can travel between floors please consider this.
You have the full use of a small back patio off the kitchen by the sliding doors to enter the apartment. The back garden is the private property of our tenants, we ask our gusts to respect their privacy and not to go back there.

The Bedroom:
There is one bedroom in an open concept space, as shown in photos. There is a full double bed and closet with hangers. There is also a fold-out futon for a third guest.

Kitchen:
There is a full kitchen with an oven, fridge, toaster, microwave, kettle, coffee press and necessities such as sugar, spices, complimentary coffee and tea and some other bonuses. The kitchen has double glass doors which allows for plenty of sunlight. The doors walk out to the private patio with table and chairs.

The Living Area:
There is a separate living area with a fold-out futon, a new flatscreen TV with Netflix, and a dining table with two chairs (extra fold out chairs available).

Bathroom:
There is a private, two-piece bathroom with a separate shower.

Internet:
Please enjoy free, high-speed, unlimited WIFI and Netflix. When you are outside the home doing your thing, you can obtain free internet access all over the city.

Parking:
There is free, daytime street parking on your street. **To park after midnight until 8am, you will need a temporary street permit from the city which is inexpensive and easily obtained online, but please let us know if you need to purchase one and we can certainly help in arranging that for you.

The 'Hood:
The location is on one of the most sought-after and secluded streets in the trendy Beach neighbourhood and, literally, a thirty second walk to the beach, lake and boardwalk. It is also less than a minute walk to Queen St. where you will find everything you need: Grocery stores, boutique shopping, restaurants and bars, hip pubs, cafés and "The Fox Theatre" (an historic repertoire movie theatre).

Great place by the lake
You can't beat the location, especially in the Summer. It is steps away from the lake. I stayed here for almost 3 months. Carlos is one of the best hosts I have encountered. He was quick to help me with anything I needed. I recommend.

Idea Location
The location is the big selling point of this property and the owner is super helpful and responds to all questions very promptly. Having said that some things, like the shower, could use a real upgrade. As well, some of the furniture (bed, dining room chairs) are very basic and should be more comfortable for the price. The key problem is the noise from the upstairs unit. I am not particularly fussy about noise but some nights the dogs sounded like they were whining right outside my door! Better sound insulation, less dodgy electrical and an upgraded shower would be what I would need to return. .

Misleading description! Booked a hotel room rather than stay.
The description of the place noted that the apartment was a basement studio. The pictures mostly represent the place well. Where I was mislead was in the description of the deck and the view from the deck. This is a direct quote from the owners review "What makes this house unique: I renovated the one bedroom, open concept, bright basement apartment in the house in 2015. It looks out on to a private beautifully landscaped garden with a pond from your own small patio. ..." The small patio is literally underneath the steps of the deck for the main floor of the house. The view (if you look through the stair runners of the deck that is OVERTOP of the little space) is of overgrown weeds. There is absolutely no view, and there is nothing that is "beautifully landscaped." This was a very misleading description, and I ended up booking a hotel for the night we had reserved this room. I pointed this out to Carlos and I requested a refund. Carlos was not even going to refund the cleaning fee (WE DIDN'T EVEN STAY THERE), but eventually returned that. Even though the description was SO misleading, we received no other money back. This was a very disappointing experience. Here is an excerpt from the text exchange from Carlos after I pointed out the misleading description ... "Chris, maybe where you went wrong was with interpretation as you've done here. I never said in my description that the view is beautiful, that the patio was beautiful, or that I was beautiful." I have the screen shots of his description that I am sending into to VRBO to report as misleading. All I can say is renter beware.

Very nice and cozy place
My daughter and I rented this little bachelor apartment for a weekend. It was very nice and cozy. The owner is very friendly and contacted us when we got in to make sure we had everything we needed and he came to introduce himself and explained the area. I will for sure rent this place when I go back.
