General overview
My home overlooks a lovely large park leading to the Canada's Avon River. It's a 5 minute walk from the Stratford's Festival Theatre and a 25 minute walk from downtown and our other 3 theatres. In the summer, there are free music concerts and art shows in the park and along the river.
The space
The living space is open-concept. The living room faces a row of cedar trees so it is like being in a tree house. It's a quiet building near restaurants, theatres, art gallery and parks.
Guest access
Elevator
There are two bedrooms. The master has a comfy queen-sized bed and the guest room has a Murphy bed.
There are two bathrooms, but they are small and aren't wheelchair accessible.
Notes
My condo allows dogs under 25lbs. Cats are also welcome.
I can trade cars with other Canadians, who hold Canadian car insurance.

Feedback
-
Julia's condo is a lovely third-floor unit overlooking the lovely Stratford park and the Stratford Tennis Club. We enjoyed time on the balcony just relaxing and soaking in the peace. Her home is spacious, well appointed, and we were totally comfortable there. We absolutely LOVE the location--not only right on the edge of the park along the Avon River but also just steps from the original Stratford Festival Theatre (the Festival has additional theaters in downtown Stratford). It is also within driving distance of Kitchener-waterloo, Toronto, and Niagara Falls. We would not hesitate to return. -
Julia's place is spotless. The apartment has a lovely view of the park, which has a playground, a garden, fountain, and overall lots of space green space. The apartment itself is quiet and relaxing. Stores and restaurants are also only minutes away.
