We offer comfortable short-term rentals near Toronto’s best restaurants in Midtown, North York, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Markham, and Scarborough, including cafés, neighborhood gems, and fine dining.

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 city’s transit system and neighborhood-centric layout make it easy to pop from one dining spot to another. However, staying in an area teeming with great dining options lets you eat well without needing to travel far.

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. You can head out for a spontaneous dinner without advanced reservations and wander and discover new favourites during your trip. Food also brings you closer to local life, helping you connect with the culture and people.

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.

4 Tips You Should Know When Looking for Short-Term Furnished Rentals in North York 

March 14, 2023
short-term rentals

Short-term furnished rentals in North York are like a mixture of staying at a fancy hotel and owning a condominium. You get the luxurious feel of a furnished hotel, but with the ability to stay in a location for months at a time. 

We want to do everything in our power to make your stay a success. However, when it comes to staying in North York, there are a few tips you need to keep in mind. 

While you can have a great time by choosing a location at random in Toronto (it’s a great city), knowing where you want to stay can make all the difference, especially if you want to stay in North York.

In this article, we will cover the benefits of staying in North York and clear up common misconceptions that some people, especially those new to Toronto, may have when visiting for the first time.

Tip #1: North York Isn’t Downtown—But Don’t Let That Stop You

Visitors to North York sometimes believe that they will be near all the downtown action that Toronto has to offer by renting in North York. Near is relative. Given that most visitors may not bring their cars, “near” is a 20+ minute subway ride to the downtown core, at the least. For many people, this is nothing. 

However, if you want to walk out of your short-term rental and be immediately where the action is, you should look for a rental closer to the waterfront.

Renting in North York is great, but expectations should be made realistic. Your first tip is to isolate neighbourhoods and regions of the great city of Toronto specifically before you look into short-term rentals.

Tip #2: Expect Peace, Quiet, and a Cozy Experience

If you have ever travelled to Toronto and North York before, you will notice when you cross the invisible inner-city barrier between North York and the geographically-lower areas of Toronto. 

The region of North York is quieter, fewer cars are on the road, and more local businesses are open. 

The upside is that short-term renters get to experience a great time. You can do all of your shopping, sightseeing, and work in downtown Toronto, and then retreat to a cozy furnished rental.

The second tip is to determine if you want the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto or want to retreat to a cozy and quiet rental at night to prepare for the day ahead.

Tip #3: North York Has Everything The Typical Traveller Needs

Just because North York is not the downtown core does not mean that North York is a sparse desert out of Mad Max. 

There are shops and shopping centers. There are diverse and multicultural neighbourhoods, all with their events going on. There are parks and open pathways, where you can explore the flora and fauna of the city. There is something for everyone. You just have to plan where you want to go and what you want to do beforehand.

Barring some specific experience like a broadway show, which is typically located downtown in the Entertainment District, North York will have everything you need and want out of your Toronto experience.

The third tip is to know what you want to do, even a rough outline so that you can maximize the benefits of your rentals’ location. 

Tip #4: Amenities, Amenities, Amenities

No one mentions the amenities, but we feel we should. Amenities can make or break an experience, and we want your stay with us to be your best yet.

While our rentals do include amenities, not all rentals include the same amenities. Depending on the short-term rental you select, amenities may vary.

Here are some amenities you may be able to use, depending on your rental:

  • Gym
  • Pre-Arrival grocery shops
  • Parking
  • Close to transit, education, and government offices
  • Theatre Rooms
  • Fitness centres
  • Swimming pools
  • Meeting rooms
  • Round-the-clock security

Amenities really separate us from our competition. We offer fully-furnished clean short-term rentals designed to maximize the luxury and enjoyment of your stay. 

Ready to Book Your Short-Term Stay in North York?

We go above and beyond, because we know when it comes to a short-term rental, it’s the little things that matter.

We can provide you with a short-term rental to your liking. Browse all available listings on our website to see which one is the right fit for you. 

With the variety of listings and locations we offer, we have something for everyone with every budget. Contact DelSuites and speak with our team today to learn more.

Hullmark Centre Connects You to Toronto—Elegantly

August 23, 2022
Hullmark Centre lobby

There are the pictures, the video tour—and then there’s real life at Toronto’s Hullmark Centre. What’s it like to live day to day in a building—whether it’s for a month or six months? It’s a combination of neighbourhood flavour, personal design, and how your new home connects to the wider city.

This week, we’ll take a closer look at Hullmark Centre: 35 stories of glittering sophistication in Toronto’s Yonge & Sheppard neighbourhood.

An uptown neighbourhood that has it all

Hullmark Centre is the centrepiece of Toronto’s vibrant uptown, Yonge & Sheppard: a neighbourhood that combines business savvy, family fun, laid back city living, and the diversity Toronto is famous for into one place.

Without losing its community feel, Yonge & Sheppard packs a bustling corporate district into the sky. The neighbourhood is home to major corporations like Nestlé and Bank of Montreal, legal offices, and a growing medical technology hub.

Government and diplomatic offices are also quartered in the neighbourhood: Service Canada, ServiceOntario, and Canada’s federal immigration agency have major offices in the area. It’s home to multiple diplomatic offices, including the consulates of South Africa, Panama, Argentina, Ghana, Kazakhstan, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Despite its business credentials, Hullmark’s at the centre of one of Toronto’s most family-oriented neighbourhoods. Hullmark is surrounded by both public and private schools—including two Montessori locations and one of Toronto’s most famous arts schools, Claude Watson School for the Arts. It’s ringed by parkland and playgrounds, including a major golf course. The neighbourhood is also a hub for religious communities, with churches from multiple denominations, a mosque, and several synagogues in the area.

There’s also no lack of culture and fun. With a major movie theatre a few blocks north, a slew of karaoke bars and Asian cafés, and escape rooms, it’s easy to plan a quick night out. Hullmark is also a few short blocks south of arts and concert venue Meridian Hall and Mel Lastman Square, a 20,000 square foot public square complete with a winter skating rink, outdoor concert space, a regular farmers’ market, gardens.

The square also hosts one of Toronto’s biggest library branches—complete with a hands-on digital innovation space and fabrication lab—and programming for everyone from young children to adults new to Canada.

An elegant uptown lifestyle

Behind Hullmark’s doors is where the vibrant city life of Toronto’s uptown meets soothing elegance.

From its warm, bright lobby to the marble kitchen counters, DelSuites’s Hullmark suites are built for your urban lifestyle. Each is equipped with comfortable, modern furniture: warm wood, soothing greens, and ultra-chic greys. You’re welcomed into a space that’s bright, natural, and ready to fill with your own unique personality.

When you want to sweat, socialize, or just relax, there’s also the chance to use Hullmark’s peerless amenities. Hullmark boasts a spacious, fully equipped fitness centre with treadmills, cycling, yoga facilities, and full weights available. For swimmers, an outdoor pool lets you get your laps in, and there’s an indoor hot tub and sauna to relax.

For friends and family, the indoor party room includes a wet bar and fireplace—perfect for dinner parties, cocktail receptions, or holiday meals. A theatre-style media room lets you host your own mini-cinema or invite friends to watch the big game. And if you’re working remotely, Hullmark’s sleekly professional conference room means you can meet clients and colleagues with flair.

The city at your feet

One of Hullmark’s best features is how it connects to everything you need for Toronto living.

Hullmark living makes groceries and necessities easy, with a Whole Foods Market, Rexall Drugstore, and an LCBO just downstairs in the building. Local upscale grocer Longo’s Fine Foods and Korean grocery H-Mart’s M2M concept are across the street.

But beyond the neighbourhood, Hullmark gives you direct indoor access to Yonge/Sheppard subway station and two transit lines. On hot or wintry days, you can unlock the whole city—and the greater Toronto region—without stepping outdoors.

For those who’d rather take the car, Hullmark is located just blocks from Highway 401, making your adventures through the Toronto area and Southern Ontario region easy. With five 24-hour charging stations in the neighbourhood, it’s an ideal area for electric, hybrid, and Tesla drivers.

Experience Hullmark Centre for yourself with DelSuites

There’s a little bit in the Hullmark Centre lifestyle for everyone: families, professionals, retirees, community-lovers, and more.

If you’d like to try out Hullmark living—or make it a fit for your energetic city life—call us at 647-370-3504 or email info@delsuites.com. With fully furnished short-term rentals at Hullmark Centre and throughout the GTA, DelSuites can give you a taste of Toronto hassle-free.
