Comfortable, quiet, beautiful garden & close to theaters

My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Koi's place! The location is perfect: midway between the Festival and Patterson Theaters. The back garden is gorgeous with several places to sit along with a table and chairs for coffee or a meal. The front porch has a roof. We enjoyed sitting on the porch even when it was raining. It is so quiet! There is no traffic on the street.

Stratford Festival Stage

We saw 4 plays at the main stage. That is a 4 minute stroll from this property. We cooked breakfast each day and partook in sausage/cheese/bread with wine each day. Eating out was easy as many places are close. We found the living spaces and porches to be comfortable and relaxing. The beds and bathroom were also great. The street was very quiet.

An oasis

Clean, attractive, and though not a large place, there are lots of ways for people to be on their own: back patio, even deeper set garden, living room, as well as the upstairs bedrooms. Tremendous location on extremely quiet street. We will return next year.

Delightful home

I was very impressed by this gem of a house, nestled in a quiet neighborhood just steps to the theatre and riverside. Very well equipped, clean, well maintained and furnished home, not a house. Style meets function at every turn.

Comfortable House

We had a lovely stay at Koi’s house. The beds and pillows are very comfortable and the house is an easy 5 minute walk to the Festival Theatre. We would definitely stay there again if we went with a few more people and rented the house and basement apartment.

Good property and Excellent Owner

We went for the Stratford Festival, and you cannot find a better location than this house. It was very clean and comfortable, the kitchen well appointed and the patio was a great place to hang out. Also, on a side note, the owner was incredibly response to any and all communications.

Perfect location and home

My friend and I enjoyed the easy walking distance to the Festival Theater and river. The house was very clean and well-appointed. Only caveat is that the stairs leading upstairs are quite steep. We navigated ok but for any one with mobility issues they might present a challenge

Nice, clean and convenient

Stayed 1 night to attend a performance at the Festival. The house is impeccably clean and well appointed. Excellent location. Walking distance to theatres and the river. Historic downtown is a 10 minute walk. Beautiful and quiet neighbourhood. Beds were very comfortable and linens were top notch. We will be back in the fall!

Excellent house

This is an excellent property. House is in great condition, very clean, and the host made it all so easy! Clear instructions and communication (check-in and out couldn't have been simpler), and they are very gracious and accommodating. The house is a short 10 minute walk from downtown, and one minute from the river. Great location close to it all, but on a quiet side street. I just wish we had warmer weather to enjoy the back yard - it looked amazing and peaceful. Next time...
