Two beds AND two baths?! What more could you ask for? We traveled with another couple, so this was a lovely setup for us. Just enough privacy for an extended weekend. Would be great for a family with kids as well. Other things that made Kaye's place amazing:
- Floor to ceiling windows with sweeping views of the city
- Large balcony that was perfect for hanging out on summer nights
- Squeaky clean - bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, communal spaces, everything
- In-unit washer and dryer - helped us out a lot since we were there for a sporting event and also took some workout classes, so we didn't want to have our activewear be sulking until we returned from vacation
- There are a lot dining options off of Adelaide, one of cross streets of the building: ranging from posh spots like Kiin to open-til-3-am joints like Smoke's Poutinerie
- Only a couple blocks away from Queen Street West (a main shopping / dining avenue)
- Walking distance (under 15 min) to CN tower, MTCC, and Chinatown
- SUPER SAFE parking spot in the garage under the building included in the reservation
- Front desk is manned by security guard at all times, so we felt very safe
- Kaye was quick to respond
Some tips about this place
- Please keep in mind that towels and bed linens are provided, but shampoo / body wash are not. Remember to pack your own.
- There's a little market right next door where you can pick up water, snacks, produce.
- Help keep the place clean by leaving your shoes at the door
- Elevators do get busy on weekends and can be a little slow. We had to bypass a few full elevators on Saturday due to people moving in an out of the building
- We found a great bank rate to exchange our money on the corner of Spadina & Queen Street W: TD BANK. They can do up to $200 US dollars if you're not an account holder.
- Make sure you reach out to Kaye about the check-in process in advance. It wasn't difficult or anything, but some specific instructions are required to access the garage.
- Check out was very easy - just leave the place clean!
Thanks for your hospitality, Kaye. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Toronto.
