Yes.
300 Front Street West and its sister building at 20 John Street allow short-term rentals on Airbnb with nightly stays, no landlord commission and no pet restrictions. Guests can use the amenities, including the rooftop pool, and parking is free.
Last verified November 3, 2026 by Park Place Properties300 Front Street West, together with its sister building at 20 John Street, has been the top Airbnb building in Toronto since short-term rentals were introduced. It sits at Front and John, across the street from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and a few minutes from the Rogers Centre, CN Tower and Union Station.
That location gives the building two kinds of demand. Business travellers book around conventions and the Financial District during the week, and tourists, sports fans and concert-goers fill weekends. Having both is what keeps occupancy high outside of the summer peak.
The building rules are also some of the friendliest for hosts in the city. There is no landlord commission, no pet restrictions, guests can use the amenities including the rooftop pool, and parking is free. Free parking is rare downtown, so putting it in your listing title gets more clicks and bookings.
