Our stay was great, the rooms were clean, there was a bit of issues with a few things. The closet door where the washer and dryer were store was taped together and cabinet door under the kitchen sink didnt close properly. But overall it was good, i would stay again. There was a nice size balcony. The room was tidy, the beds were made clean, and comfortable. A lot of nearby stores and restaurants for convenience.

4 stars - I think this suited my needs very well! I wanted something with a washer/dryer, and this did it for me. It also gave me a kitchen, which was soooo useful. I love that it felt like I lived there, which was also awesome. The property was clean. My only con? The communication was a bit sketchy. No, it was not a bit sketchy; it was hella sketchy. I get an email about checking in and the security deposit. Fine. I also get an email asking me for a photo of my passport, fine. But then I get to the building and text the contact number to let them know I am there, and a guy in a backpack who doesn't look like an employee of anything comes in and shows me to the apartment. Honestly, it felt weird; even in the elevator, he didn't say a word to me other than a response to my question about his name. If I were someone else, this is where I would think I would be kidnapped. I went with it, but the company *has got to figure out a better system to this*. My only other annoyance was not holding my luggage later on in the day part. They told me they could hold my luggage, and when I asked about it for check out, I was told they couldn't. The messaging/consistency needs work. Still 4 stars. I now know this is how they operate, but they gotta work on presentability otherwise they are just randos leading you to a random apartment..

Good value for the price. TV problems were fixed but didn't last for the duration of our stay (compensated for the issue). Internet ad said parking included but once booked the ad disappeared so we were forced to find parking. Asked if we had screen shot of original ad...who does that? Me from now on.

Great Location!

The studio condo was perfect for us (couple on a weekend away). It was clean with the right amenities for us. It had a small kitchen with coffee maker, laundry and cleaning supplies if needed. The building felt safe and no long wait at elevators. I would recommend an interior security lock for an extra sense of security while guest are inside. The location is ideal especially for those wanting to go to the Skydome or the Scotiabank Arena. Union Station is also in close walking distance with the underground Food Court for a quick bite when needed. There's a supermarket and LCBO across the street. There are also lots of restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance.

This was the perfect place to stay. The building is right in the center of downtown. The apartment itself was spacious and perfect for my friend and I's trip. I would definitely stay here again, and I loved the apart-hotel experience.

Perfect location for things downtown. All the tourist attractions and arenas are within walking distance and the apt has amazing views. It had everything you need in the apt itself. It was clean but not hotel clean. I would recommend staying here

The host was very responsive and the apartment was very clean with amazing views of the city. Location is great as it is less than a 5 minute walk to Scotiabank arena. Only thing to note is the elevators in the building are quite slow, often times during my stay only one of them was working.
