Our stay at Judith's apartment went different than we had anticipated. The positives were that the apartment itself is very stylish and modern. The bathroom was visually impressive with a dryer and washer that worked well, the bed was comfortable and the apartment had an amazing patio that catches a slight glimpse of downtown and the CN tower. The location of the apartment is a huge plus as well. Steps away from Riverdale Park, as well, close to Broadview Station and the Danforth. Just be aware you need to climb 2 separate flights of stairs to get to the apartment. This was not an issue for us but may pose issues for others if you have heavy luggage. Judith as well was a very communicative host which we appreciated. Despite all this however, there were some things we weren't able to look past. One issue was the uncleanliness. We were quite surprised to enter the apartment and discover thick crust build up on various dispensers and kitchen areas/appliances not cleaned or wiped down properly. Some like the microwave and coffee machine were quite unclean. A big problem for us though was the towels upon arrival were all wet and the hand towel specifically had a used smell. It made us very uncomfortable as we weren't certain if they were new or cleaned. Another issue we ran into was the heating. Even at the highest heat we were very cold most of the time. We appreciated Judith's gesture of bringing us a separate plug in heater but it was very dusty so we were not able to use it. All in all we managed to have a great Christmas morning in the apartment but I'm not sure if the few days we spent there were worth the price.
