Need Temporary Housing During an Insurance Claim? DelSuites Can Help

December 23, 2020
temporary housing insurance

No one’s ever prepared for an unexpected emergency. If your home has been damaged or even destroyed by an accident or a natural disaster, you may be eligible to claim temporary housing on your insurance plan. 

DelSuites offers temporary, fully-furnished condo accommodation that is perfect for families who find themselves in need of emergency housing. 

We understand that these times can be traumatic and stressful. Our modern, stylish apartments can make things that much easier. 

So, what makes DelSuites the perfect option for you?

You Can Move In Immediately

One great advantage to our suites is the turnaround time. In most housing emergencies, time is of the essence. 

If you need somewhere to live temporarily, you’re probably eager to move in as soon as possible. With DelSuites, we can get you set up in your new home away from home immediately.

Our Suites Are Located All Over the GTA

Here at DelSuites, we have housing available throughout the entire GTA. Most Torontonians who need urgent accommodation prefer to move somewhere in their own neighbourhood, as this allows them to be close to friends, schools, and familiar stores. 

Choose a suite in your own area to make this period much easier for you and your family.

We Offer Large Homes With Ample Space

Some temporary suites are designed for business trips, and feel more like hotels than apartments. Our suites are famous for their homely feel and their ample space. 

If you have a family, we even offer three-bedroom properties with ample space for everyone. Some of our suites are even located in houses and townhouses, which means you can feel even more at home, depending on what you’re used to.

Our Suites Are Fully-Furnished and Fully-Equipped

There’s no need to worry about purchasing new cookware, furniture, or appliances. Your suite will be fully-furnished and fully-fitted with everything you could need. This means you can save money on emergency supplies during your stay, and get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Receive Bi-Weekly Cleaning Services

Here’s another thing you can check off your to-do list—cleaning! Cleaning can be an added hassle during an already stressful time. 

We offer a bi-weekly cleaning service for your apartment, so you can get on with the important stuff.

Take Advantage of the Building Amenities

Our condos are located in some of the city’s best buildings. Many include a range of great amenities, including spas, fitness centers, and parking, so that you and your family will have everything you could need at your fingertips.

Our Buildings Are Incredibly Safe

These condo buildings are also incredibly safe. All of our properties have 24/7 security and most suites are equipped with a security alarm system to ensure that you, your family, and your belongings are always completely safe. 

Many people in emergency situations can find themselves in uncomfortable, unsafe temporary housing—with DelSuites, you won’t have to worry about any more issues. 

We Offer a Personalized Experience

Our team at DelSuites always goes above and beyond for our guests. We can offer you a highly personalized experience. 

One of our agents can help you to find the best possible new home that ticks all of your boxes. We’ll meet with you personally and help you get settled in and re-oriented.

We Can Even Work With Your Adjuster

If you are working with an adjuster or claims investigator, our team can work with them too. We will connect with your adjuster and ensure you get the best, quickest new home you can.

We Offer Pet-Friendly Suites

Many pet-owners run into difficulties with temporary housing companies that do not allow pets. 

We understand how important it is to keep the whole family together, including your pets, so we’ll help you find a suite that allows pets, too.

No Taxes

At DelSuites, we do not charge hotel taxes. Most accomodation companies in Canada charge a 5% GST on top of other fees. 

Because we charge no taxes, you won’t have to worry about any surprise charges.

Short-Term Rental vs. Hotel: Weighing Your Options on Where You Should Stay in Toronto

October 26, 2020
toronto travel hotel vs short-term rental

You land in the city and are looking for a place to stay. Finding a living space that is clean and comfortable is going to be priority number one. Luckily you have options. When it comes to serviced living spaces, the two most popular options include: booking a short-term rental or finding a hotel. 

Depending on what type of trip you are taking to the city, whether it’s business or leisure, how you want to spend your time here, and where you reside will change. Both hotels and short-term rentals offer different experiences that can enhance or hinder your stay. 

Here is a breakdown that will help you weigh your options and help you decide which is better for you: 

What Do Short-Term Rentals Offer?

Privacy

Since the entire living space is rented, you get a greater sense of privacy and experience fewer interruptions from other guests or staff like you would at a hotel. Especially in a time of social distancing, you do not have to worry about sharing common areas with other patrons or having to wear a face mask every time you leave your room. Instead, settle in and spread out as you please. 

Feeling At Home

Amenities like a kitchen, washer and dryer, and fully furnished living spaces are often included. This enhances the feeling of home as you can prepare your various meals, tend to your own laundry and live at your own pace in your home away from home.

Better Sense of the Neighbourhood

Short-term rentals are great for a longer stay. With locations throughout most major cities, you can get to know the area and community you are living in. Feel like a local and get fantastic intel on the best bars, restaurants, and hidden gems in the neighbourhood.

Saves You Money

Being able to do things like cook for yourself in a kitchen means you don’t have to worry about added costs on amenities that are included right in your living space. Likewise, the ability to be more self-sufficient means less hassle with cleaning fees and having to tip the bellboy. 

Drawbacks

For short-term rentals, the increased independent living does mean you miss out on things like room service or larger amenities that a luxury hotel might provide. However, for condo-style or suite-style temporary rentals with DelSuites, things like a gym or a pool are still often available to you. 

What Do Hotels Offer?

Many, Many Locations

Most major cities are no stranger to luxury hotels. This means you can have your pick of the best hotel in whichever neighbourhood you’d like to reside on your trip. Grab the best view in the city or the closest room to your favourite places in the downtown core, the choice is up to you. 

Service When You Want It

Hotels provide round-the-clock service. This means convenience and direct customer service whenever you have a complaint or concern with your room. Likewise, prepared meals are available for delivery at a cost, just pick up the phone and dial room service.

You’re In and Out

Reception operates 24/7 which allows for check-in and check-out at any time of the day or night.  This is great for international travellers or those on short business trips as you do not have to deal with the hassle of extensive clean up when you leave. 

Drawbacks

For hotels, rooms must be cleaned frequently and linens changed almost every day. This constant servicing can be very disruptive as it increases unnecessary interaction with staff and can alter travel itineraries based on house cleaning hours. At the same time, with so many rooms to service, specialized care, and focus on your living space is reduced. 

In this time of social distancing, it is vital to limit interaction with other people and increase cleanliness in high touch areas, something that might be overlooked in hotel room maintenance. 

Choosing the Best Option for Your Trip 

Both hotels and short-term rentals have pros and cons and can alter how you experience a city. In a major city like Toronto, with so much to see and unique activities to do, it is important to experience the most of this beautiful city at your own pace. Although hotels provide luxury and convenience, short-term rentals save you money while allowing you to feel the privacy and comforts of home so you can focus on your trip. 

When you’re staying in Toronto, booking with DelSuites is the best of both worlds. Our short-term rentals allow you to enjoy your independence during your stay, but when you need it, maintenance and customer service are just one call away. With well-established locations throughout the city, you can rely on us to make you feel right at home anywhere you are.

A Guide to Getting Around Toronto During COVID-19

September 21, 2020
toronto-streetcar-covid-19

If you’re planning on visiting Toronto or the surrounding area, you may be in for a little surprise. Even if you’ve visited the city in the past, things have changed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As with most large cities, Toronto has had to make some slight changes to its travel system to ensure people’s safety. While the changes are fairly easy to navigate, it’s important to be prepared for the new rules.

Here’s what you need to know about Toronto and the way the city is handling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Getting to Canada 

The biggest changes you’re likely to experience in travelling to Toronto is getting into the country. As of September 2020, the border with the US is closed to most foreign nationals unless you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada.

If you’re travelling from another country via plane, the airline will do a health assessment to check for symptoms of COVID-19. If you display any of the symptoms, you won’t be able to board the flight. You will also need to wear a face mask over your mouth and nose during the flight. Toronto Pearson (YYZ) is one of the only four Canadian airports currently allowing international flights. 

When you arrive at Toronto Pearson, you will again be checked for symptoms. Whether you display symptoms or not, you will be required to isolate for 14 days if you are coming to Canada from another country. Certain exemptions may be made if you take a COVID-19 test, or if you’re classified as an essential worker.

Public Transit With the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)

Once you’ve arrived in Toronto (and gone through the necessary 14-day self-isolation period if you’re coming from another country), you’ll probably need to get around the city!

The TTC is Toronto’s public transport network. It consists of subway trains, streetcars, and buses. While the entire system is now up and running as normal, there are some additional guidelines to be aware of.

As of July 2020, it is mandatory to wear a mask or face mask while using TTC public transport, unless you have an underlying medical condition that makes wearing a mask unsafe. 

On all buses, streetcars, and trains, you may notice that several seats are blocked off. Avoid using these seats to ensure you are practicing social distancing from other passengers.

Fares can be paid as normal by cash, PRESTO card, or token. 

Click here to see the latest guidance from the TTC about using public transport safely. You can also visit the TTC website to see a full map of the city’s public transport. 

Use a Ride-Hailing App

Uber and other ride-hailing apps have become increasingly popular over the last few years. With Uber and other similar apps, you can order a cab to your exact location and it usually arrives within the space of a few minutes. For many, it’s a more convenient and affordable option than regular taxi cabs. 

As of March 2020, all Uber drivers and passengers are required to wear masks while in the car. Drivers now have to verify they are wearing a mask through the app before they are assigned to a ride. 

Drivers are also required to sign documentation confirming they:

  • Have no COVID-19 symptoms
  • Have disinfected their vehicle
  • Have washed their hands

If your driver arrives without a mask, you’ll be able to cancel your ride for free.

You will also have the luxury of choice when it comes to ride-hailing apps in Toronto. Other ride-hailing apps that are currently available include:

  • Lyft
  • RideGuru
  • Ola
  • Didi
  • Poparide
  • BlancRide
  • HiRide

Toronto’s regular taxis are still in service too.

Bike Share in Toronto

Bike Share Toronto offers an easy bike renting system. With over 6,000 bikes held at convenient outdoor stations around the city, you can grab a bike easily and quickly and drop it off at another station when you’re finished.

This bike rental system is still in operation despite the COVID-19 pandemic. While it isn’t required, you may wish to wipe down the handlebars of your bike and sanitize your hands before and after your trip.

Find out more about renting a bike in Toronto.

Finding the Perfect Accommodations in Toronto

Travelling around Toronto is actually a lot easier than you may think, in spite of the ongoing pandemic. Just remember to keep a respectful distance from other passengers when possible. And don’t forget to bring a few masks with you, so you never have to worry about being refused entry.

No matter how long your trip is, DelSuites has the perfect temporary accommodations in Toronto. Find out how we’re keeping our guests safe during the pandemic.
