Andrea, Toronto
"It’s been three weeks since I left CJ’s beautiful condo and I still think of the beautiful view from the living room as the sun rose in the morning. The Courtyards was a perfect place for me to stay as I worked on a 6-month writing contract. Perfect because it was close to great restaurants, grocery stores, public transit, and the walkability was beyond reproach."
Our Happy Clients
Ellie, NY
"Chris's West Hollywood home was an incredible creative haven. I ended up writing two screenplays during my stay and couldn't have been happier with the location."
John, CA
"With the beach only blocks away, I was not only able to have a quiet place to do my remote work, but also was able to do morning walks by the ocean everyday. Great hosts, and I would love to stay again!
