Location, location, location! This is a great spot from which to explore the city. We enjoyed easy access the the ferry terminal for a visit to the Toronto Islands, the CN Tower, numerous restaurants, the Blue Jays stadium, etc. And this 32nd floor condo provides beautiful views of the city.
The unit was very clean and had all of the basics you would need - shampoo, body wash, hair dryer, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, etc. We appreciated not having to bring these things from home.
Athena was a good communicator and was also very friendly and helpful. It was also great to have parking included because parking nearby is very expensive and somewhat hard to come by.
A few things to know…(1) We are not used to high rise living, so these things caught us off guard: We could hear some noise from the street all hours of the day, even though we were up on a high floor. We often had a long wait for the elevators. During our stay, only two of the three elevators were in service and one day only one was in service. This is totally beyond the control of the host, but is good to know. And lastly, the air conditioning is controlled by the building, not within the unit. The temperature was fine most of the time but again, it is good to know. (2) The check-in process was very frustrating. First of all, we were not aware there would be a security deposit. Second, even though we arrived in the evening, our unit was not ready upon our arrival. Athena messaged us that the cleaners told her they were doing their final inspection, so we waited. However, 40 minutes later they still were not done. Luckily, the concierge let us park our car and we went out to dinner. (3) The second bedroom is essentially in the back of the main living space and has sliding frosted glass doors (floor to ceiling) to enclose it. You still have privacy in that room, but it’s not what we were expecting. (4) If you use that room and/or the pull-out couch (which was very comfortable!), be aware there are no blackout curtains and the sun streams in early in the morning (so you might want to bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in :). (5) The mattresses are very firm. They were a bit too hard for our liking - but this may be appealing to other guests.
All in all, it was a good place to stay and Athena was a very nice host.
