Positives:
The apartment itself was really nice, can’t complain about a 36 floor condo with an amazing view! The owners were also really nice and allowed us to check-in early. When we arrived, they were still cleaning up from the previous person, which was fine b/c we came early. The lady gave us a tour of the building and offered some cool areas for us to check-out during our time in Toronto. The condo is in a security controlled building with front desk personal and a fob for entrance and elevator usage. The place is also right in the heart of the city (between the Financial district and Entertainment district) and the area is extremely walkable. The patio was really nice and offered an amazing view of the city and lake.
Negatives:
The condo is a lot smaller than the pictures show and the second bedroom is really just an open study with a open shelving bookcase in front of it. It was nice, just not what we were expecting. The “mattress” in the “2nd bedroom” was a joke. It was hard, uncomfortable, and felt more like a box spring than an actual mattress. We ended up sharing the main bedroom the entire trip and for over $600 for the weekend, that’s definitely not what we expected. We also couldn’t figure out how to work the thermostat (I’m assuming it was in C and not F) because it was warm no matter how low we turned it down so we ended up sleeping with the patio door cracked. The TV set-up is confusing and archaic. The tv itself is extremely old and I’m not sure how to describe the system used for viewing shows. It’s like a computer mirrored on the tv. Not sure why they wouldn’t just spend the less than $60 for a fire stick, roku, or other similar options. We were also forced to purchase our own wash/face towels. After a long day of exploring the city, we returned to the loft to relax and unwind only to find there were no wash towels. We contacted the homeowners only to be told that the last guest used all 8 towels in the apartment and that since they live an hour away to purchase our own and get reimbursed.
