Toronto is considered one of the most “complete” food cities in Canada, catering to those who crave diversity and access to excellent regional cuisines. You’ll find depth at every price point and a constantly evolving scene with new openings and chef-driven concepts at every corner.

The Perks of Staying Near Good Food

Mealtimes are essential, whether you need to fuel up for a busy workday or are simply exploring the city dish by dish. When you choose a short-term rental surrounded by varied food options, you won’t have to plan your day around where to eat.

How to Choose the Right Stay

To determine your perfect stay, consider what your itinerary will look like while you’re visiting Toronto. Will you primarily be working around a strict schedule or have to spend most of your days in a specific location? 

If your days are packed with meetings and events, staying close to where those are held or at least a transit-accessible neighbourhood is the way to go. It’s also worth looking at what sort of attractions you’d like to see or things you want to do in your downtime. As well, consider your travel style. Are you the type of person who likes to be in the center of the action, or do you prefer a quiet base that encourages you to unwind? As long as your pick matches your itinerary and pace, you’ll be set up to enjoy Toronto at its best.

Plan a Better Home Reno with DelSuites

March 18, 2026

If you’re planning a renovation—whether it’s a much-needed update to that old kitchen or something to make your space feel new—it always pays to renovate smart. Here’s how DelSuites can help you get your bigger, brighter home on time and on budget, without losing sleep.

Should I stay or should I go now?

With contractors and tradespeople increasingly booked in the coming months, compressing your renovation project into fewer days of work can make it more affordable—but also more likely to fit a reputable contractor’s schedule.

For smaller projects, like painting and tile repairs, it might just mean some ducking and dodging around your contractors. But for major projects like a full bathroom update, kitchens, or home additions the math changes. The average bathroom remodel runs at four and a half weeks and kitchens average six to twelve. It can be easier on your budget to let the work run uninterrupted—and move your family elsewhere for the month.

  • Daily cleanup and site protection costs. Most renovation crews take time at the end of each shift to clean up and make the space habitable again; an average of half an hour per day. This comes out of time they could spend on the primary work—and also adds up on your bill.
  • Electricity and plumbing planning. Anything that involves wiring or plumbing has to be organized around the basics of daily life: school lunches, morning showers, and for many of us, working from home. Letting your contractors work without having to carefully plan those outages moves your project forward faster—and saves you costs.
  • Save on dust mitigation. Renovations kick up dust: drywall dust, materials dust, and just the regular kind you haven’t gotten around to while living in your home. The measures you need to take to keep it out of living areas, like hanging plastic curtains, also cost money—and that’s money you can save.
  • Save on takeout. Kitchen renovations mean you’re down to microwaves or takeout for most of the construction period—and that can rack up huge expenses on meals.

Build a reno budget that works

Renovations have a reputation for running over budget—and that’s sometimes because we haven’t thought about these smaller expenses. You know, the ones that add up.

It’s worthwhile to add up the potential costs of living in your home through the reno—a little here, a little there—and stack them up against the fixed cost of a fully-furnished, ready-to-go rental.

If the incremental bill is bigger than you’d like, building a DelSuites stay into your project plan can be the low-fuss, smart financial decision. It lets your contractors finish major renovations faster, keeps your grocery budget manageable, and reduces the time you lose at work through noise, dust, power shutoffs, or fatigue from early morning carpentry.

We take the hardest part out of the renovations moving dilemma: finding the right temporary home for the right cost. With locations in all of Toronto’s major neighbourhoods, fully furnished units, fully equipped kitchens, ensuite laundry, and phone, cable, and wifi ready to go, all you have to do is show up at the door.

All our units have transparent rates, with discounts available for extended stays. And if your project does run longer than you expected, our Guest Services team can work with you to extend your stay or arrange flexible checkout without trouble.

Solve the stay-or-go equation with a better home reno plan

Ultimately, every renovation is different; it pays to ask careful questions, do your research, and weigh the options with a trusted contractor.

But if you’re leaning toward a temporary home while your dream home comes together, contact us by phone at (416) 370-3504, email at info@delsuites.com to find out how DelSuites furnished short-term rentals can help you keep your reno within budget.

The Ultimate Markham Shopping Guide

November 16, 2022

There are a lot of reasons to live in Markham Ontario – and one of them is excellent Markham shopping.

This region offers plenty of choices when it comes to enjoying some retail therapy –  from designer brands to unique boutiques and enormous shopping malls.  No matter what you are looking for, you’re sure to find it here with this Markham shopping guide.

So, where should you start if you’re in the mood to shop? The following are some of the best options for shopping in Markham, Ontario:

Markham Shopping

King Square Shopping Centre

Billed as “Canada’s Largest Asian Shopping Centre” – King Square is the newest mall in Markham. It is located at 9390 Woodbine Avenue, near 16th and Woodbine. It has a dazzling selection of retailers, as well as shopping, dining and entertainment spaces.

Plus, it’s centrally located from the major highways, which makes it easy to get to. There are over 500 well-known brands to choose from and it’s open until 8:00 pm so you have plenty of time for shopping!

Pacific Mall

Located on the corner of Steeles Avenue and Kennedy Road, this mall is huge – encompassing over 500 stores. It has an Asian theme and the mall corridors are named after streets in Hong Kong – such as Hollywood Avenue, Nathan Avenue and Queen’s Avenue. This is a great place to find electronics, as well as hairdressers, jewelry and other accessories.

As well as the typical retail brands, you’ll also find Pacific Heritage Town, which has been built to resemble a traditional Asian marketplace packed with unique artwork, crafts and other items. Oh, and the food court also has a huge selection of juice bars, noodle restaurants and other great budget eats.

CF Markville Mall and Shopping Centre

Another one of the major Markham shopping centres, this retail hotspot has recently undergone a $110 million redevelopment. It is home to over 160 high-quality retailers including Coach, Michael Kors and Aritzia.

CF Markville Mall has many of the big name retailers such as Best Buy, EB Games, Apple, Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart. There are also plenty of other quirky smaller brands to discover, as well as amenities such as Good Life Fitness, dental offices and opticians.

Markham Shopping

Main Street Markham Shopping

Another great place to shop in Markham is along the historic and scenic main street. This is the original main street of the village of Markham, which is one of the oldest communities in Ontario and has a rich and storied past.

Today, the historic shop fronts along the street have been transformed into boutiques, art studios, cafes and other businesses. Strolling down the main street on a sunny day is a delight and there are so many interesting shops to check out. If you work up an appetite, you can treat yourself to a slice of Uncle Tetsu’s famous cheesecake.

Moving to Toronto? Short-term rentals can help.

August 9, 2022

All you have to do is count cranes in the sky to know Toronto is booming. As the city grows taller, we’re adding more of what gives Toronto its soul: interesting, diverse people from around the world.

Starting out in a new country is always a big job—and what to expect is different in every city. If you’re thinking about moving to Toronto—and taking your first steps into Canada—DelSuites can help you find your first Canadian home.

Moving to Toronto — trouble-free                     

Toronto’s a great place to live for lots of reasons: diverse and friendly people, major international employers, parks, excellent schools, major sports teams, and knowing you’ll never run out of fun ways to spend your weekend. We’re one of the most livable cities in the world, Bloomberg’s best city in the world for career women, and one of the most LGBTQIA+ friendly cities on the planet.

The downside? Rents are rising fast, and some of the city’s bargain apartments are anything but comfortable. Supply chain problems mean buying furniture isn’t easy, with even furniture giant IKEA seeing stock problems. As the Toronto real estate market settles down—and you settle in—it’s worth taking your time to find the right home.

Starting your time in Toronto with a short-term furnished apartment can be a worthwhile stopgap. It’s a way to focus on what matters in your life without the stress of finding housing fast—and still live comfortably in the meantime.

Everything you need to feel secure about your move

Moving to a new country means everything is new: the brands you see in the grocery store, the currency, and neighbourhood, and frequently, the language. The more stability you can build into your life, the more time you’ll have to tackle those new adventures. And leaving the airport for a short-term, fully-furnished rental apartment is a great way to stabilize your basic daily living.

Our comfortable, professionally-cleaned condo suites come fully equipped with everything you’ll need on your first day in Toronto: beautiful modern furniture, soft sheets and pillowcases, towels, toiletries, and more. If you’re shipping your personal belongings after arriving, we’ll help you live in a comfortable home until they’re here to meet you.

Our kitchens are already stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and all the little things you need to cook your favourite breakfast. Our recommended grocery delivery services can have a first order at your door when you arrive, so you can start your first night in Toronto with a full fridge and no worries. And if you eat vegetarian, halal, kosher, or allergy-friendly meals, you’ll know you have the right food in the fridge without having to figure out a new city’s restaurants.

We equip every unit with stable high-speed wireless Internet, so you won’t spend a minute disconnected. Whether you’re still working your current job remotely or starting a new one, you’ll have a comfortable space to work and the bandwidth to do it.

If something in your unit breaks or is confusing, you don’t have to navigate whose responsibility it is or find a contractor for repairs. Our guest services line will make sure a repair is done swiftly and well, with all COVID safety requirements met.

And all of our buildings have space for fitness and fun. You can enjoy beautifully maintained exercise rooms, pools, and outdoor gardens to keep up your health routine, relax, and soak up the sun. In the evenings, our full cable TV packages let you check out your favourite shows.

All of this is included in your rental rate, so you can start your move knowing exactly what your budget is—and stick with it. Our fully online booking process includes virtual tours, so you can see every corner of your suite before booking it and get a complete quote online.

And when you find the apartment that’s right for you long-term? Our flexible booking policies mean you won’t have to give months’ worth of notice. Our Guest Services team will help you set a departure date that gets you into your new home on time: comfortable, well-rested, and ready to take on the world.

Let us welcome you to Toronto

Whether you’re here for a university degree, a few years, or for life, call us at 647-370-3504 or email info@delsuites.com to find out how we can make moving to Toronto simple and stress-free.
