A parking space is included, which is absolutely fantastic and essential at this location. That’s a huge plus. I would like to see directions on how to get to this parking space included in the excellent check-in document. Unfortunately, we ran into some difficulties, and the “emergency number” provided to resolve the issue was unreachable. Otherwise, it’s a highly recommended apartment.

Great views over the city and the CN tower, very central, parking was a great bonus. The only downside was that the city was doing works which involved switching off the water (which we had not been warned about prior to arriving), when it came back on it left us with no hot water for 2 days.

Clean, spacious, and sunny unit with lovely view. Location was actually changed a few days before our arrival, but we were still close to restaurants, shopping, and public transportation. Grocery store and coffee shops were also within walking distance. Having a parking spot included was great. Would have been nice to have more than one key-fob (necessary to use elevator), but not a huge deal for us since we did most activities together. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!

Our condo was very clean when we arrived. Check-in, check-out and parking were all very smooth and quick. Communication with owner was excellent. Well worth the money we paid. We will definitely book here again.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
View was great and location good. For the rest I would pass. The appartement was run down. I can’t believe the building was completed in 2012 because everything in there feels old. Late 80s / early 90s old. The furniture are the cheapest broken ikea, mixed with goodwill crap. Who ever did the last painting job must have a drinking problem. Top tier landlord special. The AC worked great but made weird squeeky noise only one of the night. Go figure. The kitchen stuff is more goodwill and the towels have been washed more than anything you’ve ever seen. The bed mattress was so soft we were sort of collapsing in the middle. The sheet were alright. The bed was some sort of makeshift princess frame with a net. I was drinking from a cup when I noticed it had lipstick on it. Inspected the rest of the stuff and realized it had been quickly rinsed at best. It has no black out shade, just day shade, and full length window, so it’s bright day and night in there. The hot water stop working for a few hours and the rest the stay it would take five minutes to get hot ans fluctuates from there. Communication was a little slow but ok.

Condo definitely felt neglected. Dust and dirt on baseboards and door frames. So many things falling apart. Holes in doors, knicks and scratches all over the condo. No glassware. Was hoping for a nice glass of wine in our penthouse rental… but had to drink out of coffee mugs. Didn’t love that the door was left unlocked when we arrived. Didn’t feel safe. Way over priced for what we got. I feel mislead with the listing. Wish I had booked a proper hotel. One good thing was the view. But unfortunately would not book again and wish I could get my money back.

The condo was located in the perfect location downtown Toronto close to all restaurants and the Mirvish Theatre, where we were seeing a show the views from the balcony and inside the condo were amazing. Very spacious for the four of us with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The condo could have been a little cleaner, but was nothing that ruined the weekend. I would definitely book this condo again.

Cleaners were super friendly, I’d say the place is definitely slightly banged up, one of the lamps was bent and the island table had some dents from the chairs but in a place like this your really paying for the view. I think it’s probably the best view of the city in Toronto and the GTA. Definitely recommend. Overall I’d say it was a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Hébergement avec des restos à proximité et dans un quartier intéressant. Très calme en soirée. Les trois chambres ont permis d'avoir un espace pour chacun de notre famille. Cuisine avec équipement de base, mais très fonctionnelle. Il manquait cependant des linges à vaisselle (pour ce que nous ne mettons pas au lave-vaisselle) donc ça a été un défi d'ingéniosité. Nous avons eu des défis logistiques pour le stationnement pour rendre le tout vraiment désagréable, mais la vue sur la ville valait le coup.

Das beste an der Unterkunft ist die Aussicht. Morgens Yoga mit dieser Aussicht zu machen war schon spektakulär. Wir hatten leider keinen Balkon. Man sollte sich auf jeden Fall Ohrstöpsel mitnehmen, denn die Fenster sind alles andere als schallisoliert. Selbst im 17. Stock hört man die Betrunkenen von der Straße. Warmes Wasser zum Duschen gibt es erst nachdem man 10 Minuten (kein Witz, oder Übertreibung, sonder Lösungsempfehlung des Vermieters) das Wasser hat laufen lassen. Die Unterkunft hat alles was man benötigt und liegt ziemlich zentral, so dass wir alles zu Fuß erledigen konnten.

The water from most of the taps was not functioning effectively throughout our stay (particularly the temperature regulation, which was highly variable re whether you could expect hot or cold, which was particularly problematic for our very uncomfortable showers) and our raised concerns respecting the issue was not treated seriously / expeditiously / apologetically!!

This was a terrible stay. Just to list immediately noticeable things wrong about the unit: The rooms were dusty, all the bed sheets and pillow cases were filthy with yellow tint, doors to the balcony was filthy full of dead bugs, wall mounted tv was partially falling off the wall, there was a sign of leakage on the ceiling, the door lock wouldn’t lock fully, one of the windows appeared to have been leaking and was temporarily patched up with what looked to be a bed sheets, and many of the light bulbs in the rooms were out. Worst of all, one of the bathrooms actually had a wet towel hanging on the rack! It is just a disgrace that a unit like this with a complete disregard for a paying guest is even allowed to be posted as rental unit. The experience was bad enough for us to cut down the trip by one full day and leave the city one day earlier than planned. Avoid at all cost. SMH…

Underbar utsikt,rymlig lägenhet, bra läge och bekvämt boende. Enkel incheckning även om det känns lite osäkert med olåst dörr. Det negativa var att köket är sparsamt utrustat (vi var tvungna att köpa vinglas som vi sedan lämnade kvar) och lägenheten är smutsig/dammig. Trots detta rekommenderar vi boendet.
Utsikten från balkongen.
