When a medical procedure in your family uproots you from your home to the city, we understand the anxiety it can cause you.

At Obasa / Six Three, we believe staying close to your loved ones by booking a short term rental close to the hospital is one of the best ways to help reduce the stress. That’s why our experts always do their part to make sure that can happen.

But when you check-in to your short term rental, we still want to help you and your loved ones relax during the uncertainty, so here’s your breakdown of things to do in the area around Toronto’s major hospitals.
