This condo is literally in the middle of downtown. You're a few blocks from Eaton Centre to the north, the Harbourfront/Union Station to the south, and you have access to multiple subway stops and streetcar stops on the surface streets around you. For the adventurous and/or for Toronto natives coming home for a visit, you can also access the PATH via the subway stations and several office towers located nearby. (For the uninitiated, the PATH is a network of underground passages connecting most of the major destinations in downtown Toronto; this is useful both during the humid, hot summers and the snowy winters.) You can access dozens (hundreds?) of restaurants, nightclubs, and shopping destinations within a 15-minute walk from this location in every direction.
I was back in Toronto both to visit my hometown (during Caribana week, woo hoo!) and to attend a conference at the Fairmont Royal York, which is at the base of downtown, directly across from Union Station on Front St. I knew that I wasn't going to be home much - just enough to sleep/eat/bathe and then run back out the door - so I knew that I just wanted someplace safe and centrally located.
This high-rise condo delivers on all fronts. There's a secured entry with a coded key and a manned 24-hr security desk just inside the double doors. You can zip up to the 30th floor unit using one of the high-speed elevators. The unit itself is undeniably compact, but very well-appointed: you'll have a full bath, a stacked washer/dryer, and a full kitchen (galley style) plus an automatic dishwasher at your disposal. So whether you want to whip up your own stuff OR just order a great deal of takeout and watch the big-screen TV mounted across from the convertible couch/bed, you'll have everything you need. I wish that the sofa bed was a bit more comfortable, but sofa beds sacrifice some comfort for adaptability. For the purposes of a quick, one-week trip, I was more than satisfied.
