The space is clean and quiet. We felt well-rested during our stay. Even with the Canoe Club being across the street, my partner and I noticed how quiet the space was. The only noises were voices when the restaurant closed as people left (which we couldn't hear with the windows closed) and the occasional service truck in the morning, but not every morning. I live in what I thought to be a quiet neighbourhood but this was next-level quiet.
Points which my partner and I enjoyed:
- The shower had amazingly high water-pressure
- The gas fireplace
- The Roku (my partner and I curled up in front of the fire and watched Netflix every night before bed: it was better with the fire)
- The abundance of bedding
- The kitchen was full of useful appliances, dishes and cook ware: you can make your own food or at least heat your left-overs
- The apartment is right by the water so the air is fresh and clean
- The unit is right in town, but not on a busy street: it's a few blocks from shopping, restaurants, bars
- Everywhere is an interesting walk from there, depending what you're after: West over the new Johnson St. bridge (which looks awesome and is photogenic), North to cool shops and interesting industrial areas (also photogenic), East through China town, South along the water to the Inner Harbour and beyond that the parliament buildings, Southeast to arrive at Bastion Square downtown and hear live music at The Irish Times or enjoy the backstory and decor of the Bard & Banker: named after the story of my favorite poet, Robert Service
- There are two beds so if you are two people, you can each starfish and flop any which way you want
- The bed by the window has a memory foam topping or something because it's cloud-like
- The down duvet on the bed by the window is the top cloud of the cloud experience
- The whole bed by the window experience is... well, perfectly cloud-like. I know it's a cliche analogy but you won't know it until you've been enveloped by this bed. I had to say it three times because I would book this place again with entirely different plans: plans of not telling my friends and family I'm in town and then sleeping in the cloud bed for days on end.
