Hotels near Toronto Zoo, Pickering

I like the kindness of the host. Very friendly and warm.

This was our first time visiting Canada, and staying at Shafqat’s property truly made our trip unforgettable. Having a car was absolutely essential for us, and the property’s private parking made everything so convenient. It’s perfectly located—just a comfortable drive from both the airport and downtown—making it easy to get around and explore the city. During our stay, it started snowing quite heavily, but Shafqat went above and beyond every single day. Each morning, he would brush the snow off our car along with his, without us even asking! That small gesture perfectly sums up how thoughtful and caring he is as a host. Whenever we needed anything, Shafqat was incredibly approachable and responsive. For example, when the girls needed another mirror to get ready for an early morning wedding, he brought one right away in the middle of the night . He also made sure we had everything we could possibly need—from extra towels and blankets to an unlimited supply of coffee pods for our morning coffees. The apartment itself was cozy, warm, and perfectly equipped. We always looked forward to coming back “home” after a long day out in the cold. The kitchen had more than enough utensils and appliances for cooking, which made our stay even more comfortable. Overall, Shafqat is an outstanding host who truly cares about his guests’ experience—not just in the apartment, but during the whole trip. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit Canada. Highly recommended!

Can’t recommend booking this apartment enough. The space is very clean, easy check in process, coffee pods available for the morning, and easy check in. Very close to the go train and easy to get to downtown Toronto. Stay here!!

Great atmosphere and best location. Easy to find transit

The room was clean. The breakfast was okay.

The neighborhood is upscale, and parking is right out front, so I had no concerns about the safety of our vehicle. The hosts are wonderful and kind, and even the neighbors are nice. The unit is huge, clean, comfortable, and well situated for all things eastern GTA. It was as advertised with a kitchen and dining area, sleeping for four (w/room for a couple of blow-up mattresses) and a very secure entry. Pickering is a lovely community that has the Rouge River Valley Park on its doorstep. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and I believe you will as sell.
