I was visiting the Toronto area and was excited to arrange to stay in downtown for the first couple nights. I found this condo and it had a bit lower $$ rate than normal, I think because it was two random nights open they wanted to fill, and it just happened to be the nights I needed. I was hoping the place had a great view, and in that it surpassed my expectations. It was so high I got some vertigo, but still spent lots of time looking at the scenery from a safe distance from the edge of the balcony!
The place is really ideal for downtown Toronto, great location, great view. Minor downsides in that parking and elevators are a bit time consuming, but that's because it's a huge building and houses a lot of cars underground, and the elevator has to go up a loooong way, so totally understandable.
The condo itself seemed to have everything you would need for a few nights, and there was Netflix on the TV. The bed was reasonably comfortable, though the pillows left something to be desired for what the normal rate is here (in my opinion). That said, I would normally be fine with all that.
There was one hiccup my first night in that the refrigerator seemed to start dying at 3am and I was stumbling in the dark trying to figure out where the loud noise that woke me up was coming from, then it took me a while to find that I could turn it off with a power button in the fridge, which was good because I couldn't find the breaker panel, and the fridge is built in so I could not access the power cord to unplug it. Stuff like this happens and I don't fault them for the poor timing, though when I told them about it, all I got was "thanks for letting me know" and no "sorry you were abruptly awoken in the middle of the night". Also they said they would be by that day to fix it, but it was still turned off when I got back that night. I didn't really need it, but kind of expected some communication about it. However, that is not really affecting my review.
The reason for the loss of stars is 1) this is a studio condo with no private bedroom, the bed is directly exposed to the windows. And the blinds do not work. An entire quarter section of the blinds is completely missing, and probably 10-20% of the remaining slats are missing or do not close properly. Sunrise in Toronto was 5:30am when I stayed there, and I was definitely up with the sun even though I didn't want to be. Even at night, the lights from adjacent buildings were very bright making it hard to sleep. I ended up getting a sleeping mask to wear my second night which helped, but that shouldn't be necessary. 2) My second morning, when I was checking out and off to an important event, there was not a single drop of hot water for the shower. I'm not sure if there is shared hot water and the other units hogged it, or if the unit's water heater was malfunctioning, but I was very unhappy to have to take a cold shower before heading out.
So the inability to darken the bed area and the risk of having to take a cold shower are the reasons for 3 stars and why I would not stay there again next time I visit.
