Farid was the consummate host. His apartment was exactly as shown in the ad and I would rate it 6 stars for cleanliness and presentation if I could. Farid is obviously very proud of his home and it shows in the overall decor and little details. I stayed a very comfortable and enjoyable 5 days whilst in Toronto for work.

Farid met me on arrival and walked me through the amenities and when I had to leave early on the last morning to go to the airport, I was able to leave the key in a lockbox which was convenient. He checked in with me regularly to offer any assistance and was appropriately attentive.

It's a great building with lots of character and an enjoyable 20 min walk downtown along the waterfront, with some coffee & gelato shops to tempt you on the way past.

Overall a great experience, and I would have no hesitation to recommending this apartment to anyone looking for a superior alternative to a 5 star hotel room.
