My boyfriend and I spent 3 days at Phil’s unit. It was a lovely loft, and very accurate to the pictures posted. It had a nice, romantic ambience and vibe that I would recommend to all! Especially if you’re looking for a romantic getaway.
There are some cons/downsides to keep in mind, though;
PARKING: Underground parking was $25 a day ($75 total for our stay), which we felt was not worth it whatsoever. Although it saved us from having to find parking elsewhere, the parking garage was ridiculously small to the point where turning certain corners had to be done in 3 point turns (NOT SUITABLE FOR TRUCKS!!). Also, the only way the garage would open is by you physically coming out of your car and scanning the fob every time which is annoying and inconvenient considering it was cold and snowing that weekend.
BATHROOM: The thing that sold me initially was the photos of the amazingly large soak tub! Unfortunately, we did not get to use it for any baths as there were stains along the inside that did not make it appealing to want to sit in and soak. The curtains were also stained and slightly dirty so, as a clean freak, I had to take showers without closing it because I was afraid of it touching my skin. :/
TV: I’ve seen a few comments about the TV remote becoming unusable during a few stays. This happened to us as well. 2 days into our stay, the remote completely stopped working. Not the biggest deal, except we couldn’t find buttons on the TV itself as an alternative. For the price we’re paying, a decent working TV remote with fresh batteries would have been nice.
OTHER: During our second day, we had to evacuate the building at like 10-11pm at night due to the fire alarm going off. According to our neighbours, it had already gone off 2 other times earlier that day. We had to (obviously) walk 10 flights down & 10 flights back up once that situation was cleared. Of course this is nobody’s fault, but it was definitely an inconvenience.
With all of this being said, we still really enjoyed our stay. The vibes were amazing and the apartment was truly beautiful and decorated nicely. If these are things that wouldn’t bother you much, I would 100% recommended Phil’s unit to anyone wanting to book!
