As a traveler, I go to places to be amazed by the environment, atmosphere, and the people. Gary's place is just that in of itself. After a slightly delayed checkin due to the late, late checkout by the previous guest, Gary made up for it with his great demeanor and smile. Furthermore, we were traveling with a roof box and he helped us get it stored in order for us to be able to park under the building.
While waiting for the place to get ready, we waited in the lobby and were. greeted there by courteous lobby attendants. The buildind's penthouse isn't complete and the elevators were being worked. A slight inconvenience, but we spent a lot of time in the apartment where our party relaxed. The kitchen appliances were top of the line and brand new. The utensils, pots, and pans were more than sufficient. The fridge was stocked with essentials and the coffee/tea maker was stupendous!
Each room was tastefully decorated with contemporary artwork. Each bedroom was furnished with a comfortable bed and wicked HD tv. The bathrooms were immaculate and also fully stocked with essentials. The new washer/dryer was so convenient and kept our clothes nice and fresh.
Now to the best part.....the walk out patio is amazing. Loved it out there with the great view of the CN Tower and the Toronto skyline. Wish we could've stayed out there more if it weren't for the rain during our stay. This apartment is on the ninth floor, so high enough to see over other buildings, but not too high for folks afraid of heights. There's also a fitness center and a larger patio area open to other tenants of the building.
Queen street is only two blocks away so we were close to food, shopping, and essentials. We also ventured to Ghinatown, which wasn't too far away. I highly recommend, wait let me correct myself, WE highly recommend Gary's pad. Everything you could wish for. In a cozy oasis in the middle of all the action. Now if Gary could set up a masseuse.....
