We loved being literally a few steps from quaint coffee shops, restaurants, art galleries and theaters. There was even a little green grocery store where we could buy food …and we had everything that we needed at the loft to be able to cook our own meals. The apartment was so comfortable that I literally kept saying aloud to my husband “I wish I lived here!” ##### Ann Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kat B.

Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy OUTSTANDING place to stay! Although we had booked Cora's Loft on the 2nd floor, we were given Harmony House on the third floor. We were very happy to have the extra space and climbing the extra set of stairs was worth it. The place was charming and filled with lots of little touches to make it a cozy and comfortable place to stay during our 10 day visit in Stratford. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and he was bursting with pride as he he pointed out some of the original features they were able to maintain while doing the renovation and upgrades. It was obviously a labour of love which we were thrilled to enjoy. The location was perfect, overlooking Market Square and the grand City Hall. We were able to walk everywhere - theatres, restaurants, shopping, trails, gardens, etc. Staying here more than met our expectations and we were glad to call it home for a while. ##### Janice C.
