‘Chez’ is the correct preposition for ‘at your place’; ‘à toi’ is ungrammatical here.

Cultural Tip
‘Chez’ + pronoun is a very common way to talk about someone’s home in French. ‘Chez toi’ is informal; switch to ‘chez vous’ when speaking to strangers, elders, or in a professional context. Also, the elided pronoun ‘l'’ must agree with the gender of the omitted noun (le or la).
