This condo is beautiful and well-equipped. The location truly cannot be beat, with so much within walking distance, Including a grocery store, LCBO, and Starbucks. We stayed with our four children (2 teens, a toddler, and a newborn). Just some things to be aware of for families with kids looking to stay here (not criticisms, just important considerations):
- There is a lot within reach of toddlers (knickknacks, video game controllers, etc), so you will need to watch them closely if you have them.
- There is very little space in either bedroom for baby sleeping stuff- a pack and play would definitely not fit. We did not have room for the toddler air mattress for our toddler, so he just slept in the king bed with us. We were able to wedge a portable bassinet in the corner of the bedroom for our newborn, but that meant having to crawl on the bed to get to the other side of the bed, as it blocked the walkway. There’s also no closet or dresser in the master bedroom, but no room to store a suitcase, so you need to get creative with finding space for everyone’s things. We would have set up these things in the living space where there was more room and slept on the pull out couch, but the window blinds were not blackout in there and lots of city light came through.
The only other major consideration is the check-in/parking situation. In order to get the parking fob, you need to first get the keys from the lobby, then get the parking fob from the condo unit, then go back down and park the car. This means that if you only have one driver, you need to find somewhere to park your car temporarily before you are able to check in and get the fob. In our case, I ran inside and my husband had to drive around the block in heavy traffic while I checked in, got the keys, walked to the condo, got the fob, and went back down to the street. The same goes for check out, as you need the parking fob to exit the parking garage. So you have to pack up and physically leave the garage with your car, find a place to park or drive around, then go back up to the unit to leave the parking fob then walk over to the other building to drop off the keys. It’s just a little tedious and a bit of a hassle if you have a car. Totally doable just know ahead of time what you have to do! I imagine if you don’t have a vehicle the check in-check out process would be very simple!!
We really loved this unit and would definitely stay there again when our younger two kids are a little older. It would have been perfect for us if it was just my husband and I and our two teens.
