This was the most deceiving rental Iâve booked. The heavily edited photos do not show you the poor condition of the home.The home is noticeably old, damaged, and falling apart. Doorframes, walls, the flooring, outlets, the bed frames, and the lock to the front door were damaged and not what anyone would expect to receive for a rental. For 1800 CAD, we were upset the entire weekend on the condition of the home. The photos will show the theme of the condition throughout the home. The lint trap for the dryer looked like it had never been cleaned. The front lock is so cheap that anyone could break in with little effort as it looks like a plastic deadbolt. Towels were stained and there were no amenities (shampoo, body wash, working bathroom outlets). There was a damaged and stained ironing board available but no actual iron to use. The spice rack was empty and there were just bags of random spices in the cabinet, I wouldnât even have a space rack displayed if itâs empty.
Not enough dishes for the number of guests. It was a nice safe place with a cool games room. We did enjoy our stay. Cleanliness was ok. Downstairs games room washroom was not clean. There were not enough hand towels or a dish cloth.
We wanted a comfortable place with a kitchen that could accommodate all four of us in a pleasant neighbourhood that didnât cost a fortune. This place ticked all the boxes!
This house checked all of our boxes - affordable, good location for our trip, a proper crib for our daughter to sleep safely, in a safe neighbourhood with all the necessary shops and amenities nearby. Excellent and prompt communication with the host, clean property well stocked with necessities. The mattress in the master bedroom is hard as a rock, but otherwise it was a very comfortable stay!
The house is nice and has lots of space. The games room downstairs was a hit with our kids. Nice backyard area however the description mentions a hot tub and unfortunately there was not one. The kitchen supplies could have been a bit more stocked. No large pit to cook corn in, not enough plates and cutlery once used for the meal before. Overall, very nice place and plenty of room.
The house provided all the basics while providing comfort, fun games, plenty of space for our family -- all while being close enough to Toronto to access all the city has to offer.
We have been traveling to Pickering for years, this is a preferred alternative to the local hotels. The only minor negative is the property could use a little TLC in certain areas.
Will stay again for our next trip!
Home was largely as advertised. Linens could use replaced and the pictures need to be updated but overall a nice home. Fair price, kind owner, solid listing
We were impressed as soon as we walked in the front door of the house. It is exactly as described in the listing and it certainly was spotlessly clean.
We were a couple, a young mother with a baby and her mother. The three bedrooms were perfect for us. They are all spacious.
The neighbourhood is a beautiful one and itâs very quiet. At night, we didnât hear a sound outdoors. We chose it as it was very close to family we have in Pickering.
Our host was very responsive to any questions we had,
- before and during our stay. He was very prompt in his replies.
I would certainly recommend this property to stay and I will stay again, if the need arises.
