Our first time to Toronto, Could not have been happier with our stay!
Submitted: June 13, 2012
Stayed: May 2012
My boyfriend and I stayed at this condo 8 nights while I attended a conference at the Metro Convention Center and we both did a ton of sightseeing. Being our first time visiting Toronto, we had no clue where to stay, but we were lucky to chose this place!! I agree with all of the positive reviews below, and the listing description is accurate.
We really enjoyed our stay in Toronto at this condo and I would recommend it to others. This condo provides the luxury and comfort of any nice downtown hotel, but it's much more than a hotel room (washer and dryer to take home a suitcase full of clean clothes which we did!) and a full kitchen to save on eating out every meal), very clean, rainfall shower/nice bathroom, all the amenities we needed, balcony, soft towels, comfortable bed, safe area, secure entrance to condo building (access key required to enter front door), and on top of all that, much more cost effective than staying in a downtown hotel.
LOCATION! I had a convenient 10 minute walk to the conference at the metro convention center. We walked almost everywhere we wanted to go in the downtown area (including baseball stadium, museum of art, kennsington market, china town, financial district, harbour front, distillery district, St. Lawrence market, Toronto University, Queens park, royal ontario museum). There are plenty of good restaurants within 5-10 min walk convenient to the condo (Queen Mother Cafe was a favoriate of ours). We did not have a car and were very happy we did not! Public transportation is extremely easy and inexpensive (there's a bus stop at the corner at the end of the street (1 minute walk), and subway station less than 5 mins away. (We rented a car one day to drive to Niagra Falls and Niagra on the Lake (there is an Enterprise within 10 min walk). We took public transportation from the airport and it was not a problem (allow 1 hour but not bad and only $3...worth the time to us to save the extra money).
The renting process is easy and Brendan makes it that way. Brendan could not have made the process any smoother. He is friendly, fast (often responding to emails within minutes and late at night), professional, attentive to detail, helpful, and informative. Could not stress enough that I would be confident to rent from him and his wife again. He is very prompt (I received by refund check via paypal within 3 days of checking out). I felt like he wanted to make our stay as comfortable and convenient for us as possible.
