The Perch is a gorgeous condo, located in Downtown Toronto. The first thing to note is that it is as close as you can possibly get to Scotiabank Arena, home of the Toronto Raptors. It is a stylishly done condo with an amazing couch giving you a sense of what it is to live downtown amongst high rises. Trust me, you’ll have great sleep amongst what feels like stars. Also there is the much talked about projector screen with access to Netflix, Prime and YouTube. WiFi works flawlessly and is fast. The rooms are clean and get a lot of light. There are plenty of storage space and the shower works well. There are two bathrooms with a tub each. Also modern washer and dryer makes it a breeze.
The condo is connected to the PATH! Which meant I could get to work while it was -20 degree Celsius outside without having to wear a parka. The route takes a little getting used to, but once you know, it’s easy. There are three great restaurants closeby (real sports, e11even and aria) and union station is literally a stone’s throw. There is Longo’s in the building and it’s open till 11pm.
You have to take 2 elevators to get to the apartment and that takes getting used to (also temporarily one elevator was out of action, so there was queuing once). There is a pool and gym in the building too. The concierge won’t accept your amazon packages though, small potatoes. Taxis are readily available outside the building.
It feels like home, with books, guides, well stocked kitchen (equipment, cutlery, utensils and popcorn).
Julie and Nihir have put a lot of thought into what you might need, so give this place a chance, you won’t regret it.
