Inviting home in one of Toronto's best neighbourhoods
OUR HOME is a 2 1/2 story century house that we completed renovated in 2007. Henk is a contractor and I am a creative director so the home was rebuilt to the highest standards, equipped with every convenience, and beautifully decorated with objects and artwork that we have collected on our travels.
Inside you will have access to 3 floors of living space (basement with guest suite, bathroom and laundry room, main floor with kitchen, living room and dining areas, and second floor with 2 more bedrooms, main bathroom and library). There is a third bathroom on the third floor as well. (Our 3rd floor also has our offices, but they are not available to guests.) Outside there is a large furnished deck right off the kitchen and a private garden just down the stairs below.
NEIGHBOURHOOD: We are in one of the city's most beautiful neighbourhoods, with plenty of mature trees, quiet residential streets and friendly neighbours. Most of the homes are single-family homes, so you aren't surrounded by asphalt and skyscrapers, yet we are only about a 15 minute direct subway ride to the centre of the city (Bloor and Yonge Street) where you will find some of the best shopping, restaurants and attractions in the city.
LOCATION: the best of both green space and urban culture: we are a 15-minute walk to the largest park in Toronto (High Park) and only 10 minutes in the other direction you'll find one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in the city (the Junction) with restaurants, cafes, shops and more. Which means you can go for dinner, have drinks, do some local boutique shopping, and never have to worry about needing a car. There is even a large grocery store that is only a 6-minute walk from the house.

For 2026, we are available anytime from March through November. Ideally we are hoping to spend 2-4 weeks in a destination. But we can be flexible. Anywhere in Europe would be amazing. We can only do non-simultaneous exchanges during the months of June or September. The rest of the calendar we are looking for simultaneous reciprocal exchanges. |

Sobre el vecindario
We are in one of the city's most beautiful neighbourhoods, with plenty of mature trees, quiet residential streets and friendly neighbours.

Our home is also in the perfect location if you want the best of both green space and urban culture: we are a 15-minute walk to the largest park in Toronto (High Park) and only 10 minutes in the other direction you'll find one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in the city (the Junction) with restaurants, cafes, shops and more.

There is even a large grocery store that is only a 6-minute walk from the house.
TRANSIT: When you do want to go explore more of the city, there is a bus stop at the end of our street that is about a 3-block walk. Or if you prefer to walk to the subway, the Keele subway stop is only a 15-minute walk away and puts you on the major east-west line.

We are a couple in our early 60s (no children) who love to travel and immerse ourselves in different cultures. My background is Italian, and because I lived in Rome for 2 years when I was in my 20s, I speak Italian (although I am a little out of practice!) Henk was born in the Netherlands, and does speak a little Dutch.
Henk retired this year, while I continue to do freelance work as a Creative Director in advertising. We also work together producing content for our travel website, GrownupTravels.com, where I am the writer and Henk is the photographer, and we are both members of the Travel Media Association of Canada.
We are looking forward to the home exchange opportunity so we can spend longer time in a destination and really get to know it more like a local than a visitor. And because we love our own home, we will treat yours with the same care and respect.
