Uptown Waterloo Condo | Fast Wi-Fi | Free Parking
Loved staying here! Incredibly clean and comfortable space, even smelled great!! Good location lots of places in walking distance, definitely recommend!

The Rozenvain Suite
I recently stayed at this amazing place, and I can't recommend it enough! The bathroom was an absolute highlight, featuring a beautiful en suite design with a shower that was simply divine. The shower had two different levels of water pressure, allowing for a customizable and relaxing experience. Plus, there were so many towels and hand towels provided—I was truly impressed by the attention to detail. The place was well-stocked with cleaning products and the kitchen was equipped with all the cutlery you could possibly need. But the real showstopper was the fridge! It was like a secret fridge, cleverly designed to blend into the wall, and it popped out in the coolest way. You really have to rent this place to understand what I’m talking about. The entire space had an open-concept layout that was both spacious and beautifully designed. They even provided games and other amenities, making it incredibly accommodating.

Private apartment centrally located with King bed!
An amazing and comfortable place to stay!

Cozy 2 bedroom Midtown apartment with free parking
I am a regular Airbnb traveller and would rate Darcy’s apartment as one of the nicest, best-located, and real value of all the places I have stayed. The place was very clean, comfortable, parking on premises and very quiet. Would definitely stay here again!

Bright, Beautiful and Welcoming Downtown Apartment
This little apartment is adorable. Claw foot bathtub and older feel is very nice. Super comfy bed, nice couch and tv, and very easy access! Takes about 20 mins to walk to any restaurants but is a nice neighbourhood. I would stay here again.

As seen on HGTV! 2-Bedroom Luxury Apartment
Janet’s place was perfect and exactly like the photos. Very cozy and homey feel. It is a basement suite and it was nice that she had a space heater and fireplace to keep us warm. She even had a basket of snacks for us when we arrived which the kids loved. This was very helpful as we arrived on our flight at almost 1am and needed a little snack. We highly recommend Janet’s place to anyone wanting a nice private place near the airport and a peaceful place to rest. Thank you Janet!

CY3 Icing on the Cake--Chic DT Basement Unit
A great deal with friendly hosts and very smooth check-in process. The interior is well-decorated and the kitchen is fully equipped. Worth for a visit and thank you very much for the nice place.

Comfort & Style Great Private Apartment Kitchener
Cindy was a wonderful host! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. She even left some delicious chocolate as a welcome treat, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I also really enjoyed the walk near Victoria Park—such a beautiful area to explore. Communication was smooth, and everything went perfectly. I’d definitely stay here again—highly recommended!

Idyllic Lakefront Home in the City - Unit 1 of 2
Julia is a fantastic host! This is our second time at her property. Julia is very quick to respond to any questions. The Airbnb is very clean and spacious. The beds and pillows are super comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the dishes and small appliances we needed. The view from the sunroom is spectacular. We really enjoyed going for a hike from the property to the Conservation Area. At night, we enjoyed our campfire in the backyard. We absolutely enjoyed our time at this property, and we hope to return again. I would highly recommend this Airbnb!

Charming home situated in the Waterloo.
This house was perfect for our large group of 4 couples. We all felt like we had lots of space and were very comfortable. Everything was clean and the area felt safe and peaceful.

Bluevale Boutique
Thalia and Jesus made our stay very enjoyable not just for the two of us, but also our pup. Their space is very dog, friendly, including an outdoor fenced in area. They provided any extra pet necessities for dogs staying there. We came with our own gear, but our dog even enjoyed their dog bed at times!

Austrian Log house
The Austrian Log House is a little slice of heaven. We enjoyed every minute of our stay, and really hope we will get to go back again someday. The location is peaceful and quiet with beautiful views. The log house was very clean, had everything we needed, super comfortable beds. This place is absolutely stunning!! And our host was super friendly, helpful, and made us feel so welcome. It was a truly magical weekend away at the beautiful Austrian Log House.

stylish 1bedroom basement
A stay at Nouras is best described as a home away from home. Nouras has carefully decorated and prepared a beautiful private home for any individual, couple or small family of 3. it is truly a lovely environment with privacy and lots to enjoy.

Really responsive host who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything during our stay. The home is clean and modern - very comfortable beds too. Would definitely stay here again

Upscale Home in Downtown KW
Amazing house for a family trip! The house is fully renovated and has plenty of space for larger groups. Would 100% recommend and stay again!

The Glass House custom home, EV Charger, sleeps 12
Gorgeous contemporary home with super comfy beds, great bathrooms and amazing kitchen. Highlight was the automatic coffee/espresso machine that makes amazing specialty coffee drinks (there is a drip maker for ordinary coffee) and 2 fresh bags of coffee for our use. Loved the livingroom sofa for TV watching, parking was super easy, very walkable neighborhood and grocery/restaurants within just a few minutes walk or drive. Google does send you down the street and does not seem to know exactly where the house is, and digital keypad was a little tricky (press the checkmark key BEFORE putting in the code), but Steve was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay and can't wait to come back.

I could not have asked for a better stay in Kitchener! The apartment was comfortable and had everything you need for a pleasant stay and the view is amazin. Super well located, just minutes from uptown Waterloo or downtown Kitchener and at walking distance from the train station. Nicole was also very responsive and helpful! Overall, one of the best airbnb stays I've had!

Excellent hospitality, pristine cleanliness, had everything we needed and our host, Diana was an excellent communicator who went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely and pleasant stay.

LuxCondo in the downtown kitchener uptown waterloo
One of the best things about this place is the host—Jas is always available and incredibly helpful. Everything looked exactly as shown in the Airbnb photos. We stayed for two months, and aside from a couple of occasional service and maintenance needs, everything was smooth and comfortable. Thank you, Jas!

Hydropool Spa HotTub/Bowling Alley/Patio/BBQ/Games
My stay at Faran’s place was excellent. The space was exactly as described and everything was easy to find and use. Faran was very prompt in responding to any questions and was super helpful. I was especially grateful that I could bring my dog with me; this was literally the only place I could find that was wheelchair accessible and pet friendly!! The amenities in the building are also excellent. Great place if you are visiting Waterloo/Kitchener.
