Fully equipped house with on-site parking. 2 minute walk to the bus, 5 minute ride to the subway. Details, Rates, and updated Availability Calendar below.

Perfect for anyone planning to stay in Toronto, whether for business or pleasure. This 1925 home in Davisville Village/ Leaside has recently been beautifully furnished and decorated with the traveler in mind.

The neighbourhood is in mid-town, and has always been popular with singles, couples and families. 'Davisville Village/Leaside' is known for its excellent recreational facilities, outstanding shopping districts, and active nightlife.

Leaside's main shopping district is on Mount Pleasant Road. This stretch of stores is highlighted by a large group of antique and collectable shops that attract people from all over the city. Home decorating stores, children's clothing and toy stores, and an excellent selection of restaurants all add to the ambience of this street. A pharmacy and grocery store are within walking distance.

Leaside residents also shop on Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue. These two streets contain a plethora of gift shops, clothing and accessory stores, bakeries, specialty food shops, restaurants, and cafes.

This area also offers motorists quick access to downtown Toronto via either Bayview Avenue or Yonge Street. Toronto's highways and expressways are located within a short drive of Leaside Village.

One is close enough to the heart of the city without the hustle-bustle and city noise.

This two storey house has a charming, private back garden with flagstone patio and lush perennial growth. Here you can relax in the spring and summer planning your next day’s adventure. Or sip an after dinner latte from the local café while lounging on the large front porch under the shade of the tree and watch the neighbourhood in action.

There are two private parking spots in the back.

The living room is tastefully furnished with a comfortable, large leather couch, coordinating chairs, and nesting tables. There is a slim, flat screen LCD with cable television and DVD player for your use. The expandable dark wood dining room table can seat eight and has a matching buffet; perfect for entertaining. Floors are elegant, dark hardwood. A safety gate has been installed to prevent young children from accessing the front basement stairs. Built in pot-lighting and chandelier light up the main floor in the evening.

The kitchen is large, with a small eat-in area. It is bright and fully stocked with a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, flat-topped stove, toaster, coffee maker, and electric kettle. All kitchenware is supplied including cookware, cutlery, dishes, glasses, dish towels, and placemats.

There is a convenient two-piece bathroom leading from the kitchen area.

Off the kitchen, facing the patio, is the sunroom. It is furnished with a futon couch, plush floor cushions, and an AM/FM radio/CD player with separate speakers and a subwoofer. This is a nice bright room for relaxing. There are large windows, and sliding patio door. The two skylights add extra light. The futon opens to provide a comfortable double bed for extra sleeping space.

The upper level features three bedrooms and the main, four piece bathroom. The stairs, upper hallway and bedrooms have been newly carpeted for warmth and comfort. Each room is painted a different colour, and is warmly decorated for your enjoyment. The entire upstairs has excellent lighting. A night light is also provided.

The master bedroom provides a very comfortable, supportive queen-size bed. There is a built in closet with full length mirrors, dresser, and night table with clock radio and telephone. Extra bin space is available under the bed for belongings. There is a television on the dresser.

The second room provides an exceptionally comfortable twin bed with built-in drawers, dresser, full-length mirror, and built-in closet.

The third room has a queen sized Murphy (wall) bed. There is a dresser, and plenty of wall hooks for hanging things.

I have comfortable futon mattresses to increase sleeping space.

The newly renovated basement is a comfortable sitting/play area with a desk as well as sleeping for three. The washer, dryer, iron and board are located here.

The bathroom has bath, shower, shower caddy, shelf, and drawer space for your toiletries.

A portable crib is available. It includes a change table attachment and bassinet options. It also doubles as a playpen. A fully adjustable high chair as well as a booster seat are available as well.

There are plenty of fresh bed and bath linens plus extra blankets, and pillows. Kitchen portable and master bedroom phones are available for local calls.

The central heating and air conditioning units work well and can be easily adjusted for your comfort.

I am certain that your accommodation here will contribute to making your time in Toronto a wonderful and memorable experience.

  • The five of us (2 kids, 9 months old and a 3.5 year old, 3 adults) stayed at Caroline's house for a week at the end of August. We had a great experience. The house had everything we needed (bedding, linens, kitchen and laundry supplies). Each of the kids had their own room, just like home, which made for a far less stressful trip than anticipated. The baby loved the Pack 'n Play crib and the toddler enjoyed the comfy (and low) Murphy bed. The parents enjoyed having their own room as well and loved the availability of a full kitchen and washer/dryer. It felt "just like home". The house was not too big, not too small. The location was wonderful. Plenty of local restaurants and shops to visit. Several supermarkets nearby. The stay was very cost-efficient as well. For the same price as a single hotel room (maybe a junior suite), we had the freedom and convenience of a whole house. This was our first time renting a vacation home in a major city. We'll definitely do it again. Caroline was also wonderful. She checked in on us several times even though she wasn't in town and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks, Caroline.

  • Our family of four (two adults, a 3 year old and a 5 year old) stayed at Soudan for a week in September/09. It is a wonderful house - very spacious, beautifully furnished and immaculately kept. We so appreciated all the family-friendly details that were provided - plastic dishes, safety gates, a children's table and chairs downstairs to do art - that made our stay so much easier. The location is very convenient and we enjoyed bringing back meals and pastries from the local shops/restaurants for our meals. Caroline was very helpful and had all the necessary information clearly laid out for our stay. We would definitely stay at the house again on future visits to Toronto. Thanks again, Caroline!

  • My family and I spent a wonderful eighteen days, in August 2009, at 274 Soudan Avenue. We were four adults and two small children and the property was even better than we hoped! The location in Midtown was ideal with easy access to all locations in and out of the City. The district is lovely, the neighbours friendly and the City centre just minutes away on the subway. The house is beautifully maintained and well appointed and there was ample room for the six of us; there was plenty of space to park a six seater MPV at the rear. Caroline was always very helpful and thoughtful and our stay was delightful in every respect. We shall certainly use 274 Soudan Avenue again on our next trip and I can unreservedly recommend it to others. Derwyn, Cardiff, Wales.

  • We spent our Spring Break this past April in Toronto. The house is in a great location--close to shops, restaurants and grocery/drug stores that are all just steps away. The house is well-stocked and extremely comfortable with more than enough space for our family of 2 adults/2 children (5 & 15 mos). Great backyard, which our eldest enjoyed on snowy days. This will be our home-away-from-home whenever we are in Toronto. I highly recommend this property and Caroline makes the entire process a breeze!

  • Loved the house and the location. Found the house to be cozy and appreciated that there we toilteries. The Kitchen was well stocked with plates etc. The location in mid-toronto was good. The house is close to public transit and street parking was possible.

  • Our family, including four generations, just spent a very enjoyable 5-day stay at your wonderful Toronto property. You truly anticipated all our needs, and we felt right at home. The location was fantastic: a short walk to the subway, and only steps to a supermarket and great local shops and restaurants on Mount Pleasant Ave. Highlights included taking in a movie at the nearby Mount Pleasant Theatre, and fish and chips at Penrose. Our only regret was that the January snow kept us from sitting out on the patio in the backyard! Thanks so much for providing the perfect venue for a memorable family visit.

  • We stayed at Soudan for two weeks with three young kids. The house was perfectly set-up for kids and was stocked with everything we needed. It is has excellent road and public transit access and in an excellent neighbourhood with a ton of stores, esp. kids stores and french bakeries. A grocery store steps away was amazingly convenient. A home away from home, it was spacious, charming and great for entertaining. We all (including the kids) loved the house and Caroline's hospitality.

  • I met my boyfriend from Il with his family of 4 kids at the property on Soudan. The house was great it accomadated all of us. The rooms were comfortable and the location was fabulous. If I was to stay in Toronto again I would definately look up Caroline (the owner) again to rent out this property.

    Hi Caroline, We are a well travelled family with two little boys who often rent home away from home accommodation but Soudan Avenue was the best stay we have had yet. The house was immaculate, it had everything I could have wanted for all of us including many child-friendly details, gates, children’s table & chairs, plastic tableware, step-up for the bathroom sinks….PERFECT! The location is ideal for grocery shopping, public transport, restaurants, movies & cafes. We would highly recommend this accommodation to everyone.

  • We were a party of 4 seniors paying a return visit to Toronto, and couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, equipped with absolutely everything we needed, and the location was ideal. We found good places to eat and interesting shops within a few minutes walk, and the subway, a little further away, offered perfect transportation. There was even space to park 2 cars if they weren't too big. What more could you ask?
