    Our host was a very nice person, we felt really welcomed and they made our short stay very comfortable. The atmosphere of the place is lovely. Also if you are an animal lover this is the place to stay. ☺️

    Awesome little homestay! Excellent value for money, comfortable and close to useful transport hubs. Felt very safe as a solo traveller, and the owner/residents (both human and animal!) were so lovely. Really enjoyed my stay.

    Staff was friendly at check-in and gave us some free snacks with our mini fridge space :) The general atmosphere of The Den was appealing to me. Quirky and cozy. I thought it was cute how our room was decorated/themed.

Welcome to a real life Bird Cage! Boho vibes, comfy beds, a plethora of plant life, with live parrots & pups. Bright and spacious Goldsmith Studio, and jungle created by resident artists from a mechanics garage. The studio has tall ceilings with several large picture windows and sunlight keeping the space green and lush, inside and out, with a plethora of plant and animal life year-round. A bright & cozy spot for couples, solo adventurers & gurus. You will be inspired by @thedentoronto's Enchanted Rooms . With queen size beds, cozy sheets and ample room for your bags. Contact us first to book groups 3+ that require additional rooms in the space for your extra guests. Rent 1 of 3 Private Rooms available in my live-work space: The Garden Room sleeps 2-4 (Note: low ceiling 5foot-2inches in this bedroom) Goldsmith Room Sleeps 2-3 Cottage Room Sleeps 1-2 No MINORS HOUSE RULES IN ADVANCE ( If you break rules fines will be removed from damage deposit. and depending on the severity you may be asked to leave with no refunds) ARRIVAL : Guests must arrive on time - 20/half hour for late arrivals and departures. Be considerate and communicative with your host to not incur these charges. This is not a traditional hotel so we are not paid hourly to wait around for you.

Along with being a fully functioning jewelry studio upfront, there are 3 rooms all available on Air B&B with your host Kristin and Pete as full-time residents. I am a classic style Airbnb host, meaning we will be 100% running into each other and interacting during your stay (Pets, Co-host Pete and Me). YOU MUST be animal friendly as they are loose onsite and THEY WILL BE interacting with you during your stay. The cute birds up in here are Scully age 30 and Pebbles age 4 live in the main space, please no touching without me to attend for safety reasons. Expect the chirps and whistles of our two trained parrots and a Yorkie mix and a Dane to brighten your day. You are in a live studio, working business and living space. As we will be sharing the main living space and kitchen area, I will often be home for lunch / dinner to help make your transition as easy as possible and to answer any questions you may have. Expect a fresh cup of coffee and hello in the mornings. I'm happy to provide recommendations on cool things to do in Toronto. We are LGBTTTQQIAA and 420-friendly hosts, so we expect you to be comfortable and friendly with that as well.
