First, Vitaly was a great host. Very responsive to inquiries about transportation options and my changing arrival time based on travel issues. The check in and check out process was very easy and straight forward.
The location: Perfect for exploring downtown Toronto! Very close to the center of downtown, easily walkable to everything you’d need or want, and a quick public transit or Lyft away from everything else. Very quiet and felt very safe too for being right downtown.
The apartment: As advertised the view is amazing! The apartment is a small studio with 1 queen bed, and one futon. The bed was of average comfort, did not try the futon at all. Kitchen and bathroom were clean and everything worked well.
My only complaint is that the large windows which provide such an excellent view, also let in all of the sunlight, and city light. The blinds don’t do much to help, so if you’re sensitive to light while sleeping, bring an eye mask.
As advertised this apartment isn’t super luxurious, but it is an exceptionally good value in an amazing location to explore downtown Toronto! I would absolutely stay here again on future trips!
