Simon’s place is as advertised. The location is second to none, especially if your plans include CN tower, Rogers center. Scotiabank Arena, or anything in that area. 20 minute to eaton center will allow you to see some of the city otw. Taking the UP express train from Pearson to the apartment was perfect. 25 minutes takes you to union station; a stones throw away from the apt. Starbucks, Longo’s (supermarket), subway, sportsbars all minutes away.
If I’m keeping it real, this place was good but could use some repairs or freshening up. Balcony door is broken, so closing it took a bit of finesse. The walls were stained in the hall and bathroom which could be eliminated by paint or a good cleaning. Taking a bath was out of the question because the drain plug does not seal to prevent water from escaping. Sections of the privacy blinds were missing so you don’t have total privacy from other buildings in view.
If I was there with a buddy for a sports weekend for example, none of the aforementioned would be an issue. Having a family in tow highlighted some of these minor problems, especially when there was an opportunity to compare with another apartment in the same building where friends were staying.
All that said, I would rent again, as I’m sure Simon will have these minor issues addressed at some point.
