We did not have a good beginning for renting this condo. The lockbox was not on the bike lock poles shown on the 48 hours check-in picture. It was on a bench across the street. The 48 hour check-in indicated for us to bring the lockbox to the unit, but we were told by the cleaning person when we called the unit that lockbox should be left on the bench. All this while we are illegally parked by the bike lock poles, with traffic trying to get around us.
Once we entered the unit, there was a renewed optimism for our stay here the large windows gave us a beautiful view of Lake Ontario. However, that optimism did not last. As we began to unpack, we found a lot of the closet consumed by the owner’s belongings. There were very few hangers for the closet, definitely not meant for more than a day’s clothing, or more than one person.
The clothes dryer was full of sheets and towels.
The kitchen cupboards were full of opened food and the shower had the remains of shampoo & body wash apparently from previous tenants. None of this felt particularly hygienic. It did appear that the unit had been cleaned otherwise.
There was not a single towel rack or hook in the bathroom for hanging towels, or anything else for that matter. The bathroom faucet moved around when you turned it off and on and there was no stopper in the sink.
There were no directions for operating the dishwasher, the washer or the clothes dryer.
