Traditionally hotels have been excessively priced in the Toronto metro. Although they weren’t as bad this trip, I’ve still grown a big fan of BNB over hotel stays.
I was excited to find such a nice flat at a very reasonable price. Located between King St. and Front St., this was in a perfect location. There’s several food selections minutes from the front door of the building. Likewise it’s a very short 5-minute walk to the convention center and several tourist attractions (Ripley’s Aquarium, the CN Tower, and so on).
If traveling solo, you will feel very safe at the flat. They have double-locked doors at the entrance. They also have an additional set of locking doors to the lifts. All are easily opened with the provided key fob. And while I didn’t rent a car for this trip, it was great to know this BNB came with free parking too.
The flat itself isn’t the newest but very well kept. It has everything you could need or want. There’s a nice dining area when you first enter, able to accommodate 6. To the right is a full bathroom, complete with a washer/dryer stashed away behind a door. Walking further in you will find a galley-style kitchen before getting to the front room and bedroom. If you’re a light sleeper you may want to pack earplugs as this is in the middle of the entertainment district, so random partygoers pass by… as well as the street cleaners and such in the early hours.
Overall I was extremely pleased with my stay. Sophia and Warren were always quick to respond. They were even accommodating when I had to adjust my inbound dates. It’s always a joy renting from friendly, personable BNB hosts. This flat will be on my short list for future stays in the Toronto metro area. Thanks!
