The apartment was amazing - one of the few times when I felt like the actual apartment exceeded expectations set by the pictures.

The apartment is in a great building with friendly doormen, and the Yorkville neighborhood and surrounding streets were the perfect location for us as first-time visitors to Toronto. The unit was clean, Daniel left a very welcoming note and made the check-in and check-out processes very easy and seamless, and it was well equipped with everything we could have needed from the linens to the bowl of fruit in the kitchen.

There were only two drawbacks that we didn't anticipate: one I think that should be clarified in the description, and the other which I'm not sure would have mattered much anyway:

1. The second "non-master" bedroom is located directly above the living room area, but it doesn't have a fourth wall -- it is exposed to the downstairs via a glass enclosure. This means that it's hard to have privacy in that room, or if your co-guests are downstairs, any kind of noise is really easily heard from that room.

2. The upstairs rooms tended to get really hot - there didn't seem to be a separate thermometer setting for those rooms. When the downstairs living room / kitchen got a bit chilly, the heat started blasting, which meant the bedrooms got really hot.

We were able to get over these minor details, but I think it's worth keeping them in mind if you're reading this review. That said, I doubt you'd find a better value if you're deciding between a hotel room and a really great unit like this.
