Awesome location, stylish & spotless. Everything you could want for an urban getaway! Whether shopping on Queen W or enjoying the 'hood's legendary nightlife, it doesn't get more convenient.

Set in a modern, 5-year old boutique building a stone's throw from Queen Street's shops & restaurants and minutes from subway/public transit, the compact unit is decorated in high style, complete with dark hardwood floors, groovy designer furniture, stainless steel appliances, granite counters and west-facing floor to ceiling windows, plus a sunny balcony to watch the sun go down and the city come alive. The sleeping area is divided from the kitchen and living area by a floating wall, so the place is best for a couple or two good friends. Unit is professionally cleaned & spotless for every guest.

INCLUDES high speed WiFi, HD flat screen TV, DVD, surround sound, MP3 audio jack and even a local cell phone

Building is a modern, 5-year old boutique condo set back on a side street just a stone's throw from Queen Street's shops and restaurants, and minutes from subway and streetcar transit. Most major downtown hospitals are also within walking distance.

Condo is furnished with personal toiletries, high thread count sheets, and local pay as you go cell phone. There are indoor bike racks in the building, and there is an excellent bike shop literally across the street.

It's nearly impossible to be this central without staying in a hotel!

About Brendan Powell

We are a married real estate team who have rented apartments in Argentina in the past and decided we should do the same in our own city - this is our second vacation rental in downtown Toronto. Brendan is a former travel writer and international tour leader who has worked and travelled in over 60 countries. Melanie is a former HR consultant for the advertising industry. Together we are also the BREL Real Estate team! Between us we speak fluent English, French, Spanish and Japanese. We are fun-loving, social and love our city--and look forward to helping others enjoy it too.

Brendan Powell purchased this condo in 2008
Why Brendan Powell chose Toronto

Read our reviews! The condo is very new, funky and in an incredible location--so central to the Queen Street shopping, bars and restaurants that you practically walk out the door and you are in the middle of things. It's a rare spot for a residential condo--there is almost nothing else quite like it location-wise...street noise is surprisingly almost nil despite being only a few doors north of busy Queen. Note that you don't really need a car here, as there is so much within walking distance. The subway is a couple of blocks away, and you'll never wait more than 30 seconds for a taxi right out front--at any time of night or day. An ideal location for the Toronto Film Festival, all Toronto's major live theatre venues or any of the central Toronto hospitals.

What makes this condo unique

As world travellers who call Toronto home, we always appreciate the city's energy, multiculturalism and music and arts scene when we come home from abroad. We love eating out and going out, so we bought what we thought was the ultimate location for someone who wants to really explore the city.

My best friend and i spent an amazing time in the Condo! Just perfectly located and clean modern condo was great! You dont need to get extra stuff, everything is already in the condo! (laundry dishes and so on....) We definitely would go back to the same condo if we could chose again!

I can highly recommend the condo!

Best Location in Downtown Toronto

4 of 5
Submitted: November 27, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
We rented this condo for my daughter who was going to be in Toronto for 2 weeks. The location can only be described as 5 star. Walk right out your door to great shopping, restaurants. Anything you are looking for is a stones throw away from this condo.
Condo comes completely furnished and includes in-unit washer/dryer for long stay. Everything provided from pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses right down to laundry soap and toilet paper. Just move in.
Unit was very clean and well kept. No dented lamp shades or stained rugs. Owner keeps this unit in top condition and is readily availabile to tennants..
Only thing we would have like was a flat screen TV on the wal in the bedroom area and perhaps and extra blanket(for the person who wants to lay on the sofa and watch TV)
Owner's Response: Glad you had a good stay!
For reference on your next stay, there are extra blankets both in the closet and in "secret" drawers built in under the bed!
No plans for a scond TV on the wall I'm afraid ;)

Hi
There was not necessary to provide many services
To make my stay as a guest more comfortable.
Since this is a professional based company they use
Their based ability as they promised to render perfect
Environment for living even short.

I tried other companies none of them provide
Full service in this extend.
Everything in place makes feel even more comfortable than
Own place.
I was sad when had to leave the beautiful fully
Equipped place.
Thx for your services and concerns,

Great location

My wife and I spent 9 nights during TIFF 2012 and could not be more pleased with the apartment. Great location - just 5 minutes from TIFF Bell Lightbox ; safe neighbourhood (Grange Park is nearby); comfortable, clean, secure, and quiet apartment. Brendan goes out of his way to make sure that his guests are well looked after.

AMAZING!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 6, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
The place was amazing!! My wife and I went there for a week on our honeymoon and honestly couldn't be more pleased. We really didn't know what to expect and were a bit hesitant about going to a big city for our honeymoon (with a car), but we couldn't be more pleased with our decision. The location is AWESOME and parking for the week was not difficult AT ALL! The place was extremely well kept and was the perfect size as well! Also, Brendan was extremely helpful in "showing us the ropes" to make everything go as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend a trip to Toronto and a stay at this location as well!
