I had a lovely time at Parimal's in early May. His place is clean, comfortable, convenient and central.
Many nearby services and St. Clair subway station. There's a Longos and LCBO downstairs and a Starbucks next door in the Desjardins building. There's a 24-hour Sobeys a 10-min walk away, just past Yonge St.
The unit is on the 17th floor facing St. Clair, so it is very quiet with the windows closed (plus I wear earplugs :))
The bed isn't the most comfortable - more like a box-spring mattress - but I bought a mattress topper for around $60 (and left it there), and that helped a lot. In fact, I probably slept better there than in my own home.
There was a mishap with the washing machine, but I fixed it being the handy person I am :) If you ever get an A10 error message on the machine, call Parimal and he'll walk you through it ;)
There are a few minor things I would suggest for this unit:
- built-in coat hook rack on the wall behind the front door
- dish rack and dish towels for the kitchen
- a small ladder to comfortably climb up to open the window instead of using the stools/ledge
- a very narrow shelf that could fit into the dead space opposite the washer dryer, so that there's more room to put toiletries.
- Everything else you can buy at Longos downstairs!
I would definitely stay there again soon, but this unit seems to be fully booked for the next few months.
