Artistic & Bright Downtown Studio with a VIEW!

I never thought I'd still be doing this job after 20+ years!
I started with no background in the industry in 2001. It began as a necessity as we were young and just starting our family. We needed a space for my family and also had to find other means to supplement our mortgage payments towards an enormous debt.

Being a Filipina in my genes gives me the natural advantage as our culture generally has the reputation of being one of the most hospitable beings in the world. We generally love to entertain and feel connected with our guests, and given some time, we eventually feel that we become like family or close friends.

Having a natural talent and eye for art, I've personalized all our suites at Mistiso's Place & Morning Star with its own distinct and unique character. Each suite is a unique space for anybody that appreciates personal touches and artsy, eclectic decor. I'm a Virgo, so I tend to be a perfectionist and put a lot of attention to detail.

Why do I host? It's the guests, my co-workers, and the knowledge, wisdom, & friendships that I've gained over the years that make this the best job for me ever! I genuinely enjoy & LOVE what I have gotten to do every day for the last 20 years.

Seeing smiles, hearing stories, & reading glowing reviews online make all the hard work pleasurable. These validations give my team and me great joy & satisfaction to know that we're doing something good for the world- one stay at a time.

Mistiso's Place is nestled in a vibrant neighbourhood with a charming scene.

The streets are lined with diverse shops and cafes, creating a lively atmosphere. The architecture showcases a mix of modern and traditional styles, adding to the neighborhood's character.

One of the things I enjoy most about this area is the sense of community. The residents are friendly and welcoming, and community events and gatherings often bring people together.

Additionally, the proximity to parks and green spaces provides a peaceful escape from the bustling city life.

Mistiso's Place offers a delightful scene and a wonderful neighbourhood experience.

Everyone’s favourite!
