Can't say enough about this AirBnB and the positive experience we had at Josel's place. Would book here again in a heartbeat.
1) The Unit
The unit was exactly as pictured. Unit was very clean, great decor and was well stocked with kitchen, bathroom and laundry items. Loved the expresso machine to make freshly brewed expressos. There was even a well stocked set of snacks and drinks to purchase in the unit. Many of the consumable items were most likely left behind by previous guests but the condition of the items were great and we had no problems reusing them vs. other places we've visited where it felt like the cleaning staff didn't do their job. The view was SPECTACULAR being on the penthouse floor. Great view of midtown and the balcony had nice seating and patio lights for a unique evening experience.
2) The Complex
The overall Condo complex was fantastic with great amenities. The gym was very spatious with a Yoga studio and all the equipment well maintained. This was a key reason for us picking this particular unit. They also have a lap pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room which we enjoyed. From the times we went, it was mainly empty so was really nice to have a personal spa facility. All areas were very well kept, just like at a 4-star hotel. Parking was very convenient with a dedicated parking spot in a secure monitored parking garage that is shared with a retail garage.
3) The Location
Can't beat the central location of this building at Midtown. Situated right above a Loblaws (Canadian Supermarket), it was easy to get coffee, water, groceries, etc. Walking distance to all the action on Yonge street with bars, restaurants and shops.
4) The Host
Josel was a super responsive and helpful host. Josel was flexible to us for an early checkin and was quick to respond to any questions we had on parking, the TV and other building amenities. Most importantly, Josel was super helpful in helping me recover a battery charger that I had left in the condo after checkout. Josel found the charger and worked with me and the new guest to facilitate a transfer.
