Spacious apartment steps from University of Guelph
The location and close proximity to the university was important for our stay. Clean, quiet and easy to find. Thank you.

Cozy 2 bedroom Midtown apartment with free parking
What a cute little spot! Certainly clean and cozy, super comfy beds. Place was super central and host was really nice. Will definitely try to rebook in future. Thanks again!

Bright, Beautiful and Welcoming Downtown Apartment
Sara's cozy apartment was perfect for my son and I to chill between games at his local hockey tournament. The place was tidy, clean, comfy, bright and roomy! Parking was ample and the location was fantastic, close to The Aud and other attractions. Sara allowed us to check in early, and answered all my questions with patience and promptly! We would highly recommend this space for anyone visiting the area, whether solo, as a couple, or small family!

Spacious 1 bedroom apartment downtown, own entry
Mary was a wonderful host and it was the nicest air bnb I’ve stayed in to date! We brought our 6 month old along, and Mary had lots of baby stuff for us to use. We forgot some stuff at her place and she was kind enough to mail it to us. Amazing host!

Studio Suite Apartment
A great apartment to stay at and wonderful hosts! Very kind and always quick to respond. Brigitte and her husband went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

ENTIRE 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT UPTOWN WATERLOO
Lovely and clean unit, perfect kitchen with everything you need! Had an ironing board and lots of closets for clothes, as well as a great shower and nice balcony with somewhere to sit. Nice little table to work at as well, close to uptown too which would be amazing to walk to in the summer!

Bright Apartment Close to Downtown Guelph
nice and cozy apartment in a quiet residential area, accessible by bus. Morgan is very responsive and her recommendations for meals are appreciated.

DSS David Street Studio -Overlooking Victoria Lake
It was our second time staying here when we visit Kitchener. The apartment is in a fantastic location, close to bars and restaurants and event locations. It's very comfortable with all the amenities we need. Gerry was very responsive and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.
Vacation rentals with pools in Waterloo

Waterfront home with Pool, Boat Ramp/Canoe/Kayak
Tasha was amazing and extremely responsive. Anytime there were any small issues she was on top of it right away. She always gave us suggestions to ensure that we were having a good time and using all the tools she had. The location did not disappoint. Absolutely stunning waterfront. I highly recommend this property as a great vacation spot. Another note Tasha had everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and on the property. Five stars!!

1 BR with City Views, near Go Transit, Tech centre
As advertised. Hosts were helpful, and proactive. Our time there was seemless and we went about our business with no issues.

Stunning Loft with Pool & Fire Pit
We chose Cullan’s property as it was close to a wedding venue nearby. We stayed 2 nights to be able to relax and enjoy the property amenities before the event. We did just that. While it was late in the season, (October) we were lucky to enjoy very temperate weather. It’s located out in the countryside, pastoral and lovely to walk the country roads. The host family was very friendly and accommodating.

Cozy 1BR Condo w/ Insuite LDRY, Gym & Free Parking
Wendy’s suite was beautifully appointed and had everything I needed. The suite was very clean and the building was lovely. Wendy’s instructions were clear and helpful. I would love to stay here again next time I’m in Waterloo.

LuxCondo in the downtown kitchener uptown waterloo
Had a great stay at Jas’s place, the parking was a huge plus and the building was just as I expected/hoped (I had stayed there in a different unit before). Communication was excellent throughout and amenities were all perfectly available except for the building hot tub, which was under maintenance temporarily. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a private quiet space for work or travel.

Highrise King Condo With Home Cinema -Free Parking
Everything was very clean and comfortable definitely recommend this spot.

Hydropool Spa HotTub/Bowling Alley/Patio/BBQ/Games
Faran is a lovely host. She is incredibly responsive. The condo was as described. We weren't able to enjoy the building amenities but they looked great. The location was convenient for two separate sporting facility venues we needed to travel to/from.

Entire Guest Unit+Free Parking by Glenbridge Plaza
Very peaceful, clean, and beautiful place. Would be happy to visit back.
Apartment rentals with pools in Waterloo

1BD · The Laundry Rooms, Waterloo - One Bedroom
Great view, and space to stay in! It was also near to a lot of restaurants and night life activities

Gateway Inn: Cora's Loft
I stayed at this location for an extended period and can see it being a great weekend or even weeklong lodging. Definitely a place for a couple or a solo traveler. It has a well stocked kitchen and a cozy feel. With old brick walls and wooden floors you feel the history. Up one staircase from ground level you look out on city hall while being close to restaurants and shops. The parking situation is walkable being two blocks away but make sure to drop off your bags before. Also, the shared pool is actually the YMCA by the Cooper Parking lot. Make sure to get a memento at the crystal shop below, buy a book at Fanfare books, get an early morning tea/coffee at The Ashborne Cafe, go for a hot yoga class at Modo Yoga, and book reservation for dinner at Elizabeth!

Modern bright two bedroom private entry unit
Diana was more than wonderful she always made sure we were doing good! And was very responsive and communicative throughout our entire stay. The place was beautiful and we were comfortable all weekend! Would definitely stay again thank you Diana!!

The Palatial - 1500 sq feet of amazing space.
We travel to Stratford every year and have done so for about 30 years. We have stayed in a variety of accommodations over the years! We prefer Air BnBs over hotels, and because we travel in a group (we were 8), this location matched our needs perfectly. We like to park the car when we arrive and not use it again until we leave (Stratford is fantastically walkable) -- no problem! We like to try different restaurants -- the location is perfect for that (and for attending theatre). We're close family, but we also like some alone time -- with four bedrooms for 8 people, this apartment offered that! The apartment was large, open and bright with basic amenities suitable for our 2 night stay. The beds were comfortable, and the shared areas were roomy enough for us to gather. The hosts were amazingly responsive -- they provided detailed and accurate info ahead of time, and quickly answered our questions.

Luxury stay - Downtown Kitchener
Had a great almost 2 month stay at the apartment. It was tastefully furnished and we enjoyed our stay. The views in the apartment are also amazing. The host, Rajbeer was very responsive, answered my many questions and catered to our requests for additional items such as a blender. Would definitely recommend to others.

Chic Downtown Condo Retreat
No words to describe this place, it was incredible! The space itself looked like a dream apartment, the balcony is fascinating. Michael was extremely responsive and helpful. I would 100% recommend this stay if you are staying in the area. Amenities were awesome as well. Thank you for everything it was one of my best stays!

Quiet 2-bdrm, family-friendly apt with cont. bfast
Correena was great hosts. The space was clean and well designed. We had comfortable stay there. I highly recommend the place.

Canadian Country Retreat
This was a perfect getaway from the big city. The place matched the description and was very clean. Little thoughtful amenities were in place as well. Prepped with little pots and pans etc, you are ready to cook meals if need be. Ada was a great responsive host who truly knows how to welcome her guests! Will definitely be back.
