Great location with its easy access to public transportation and mere walking distance to one of the main streets in downtown Toronto. Paid parking is available on site though the charges can rack up fast if you park overnight. The view is as promised and quite something if you don't have access to high-rise living where you are. The apartment is in a relatively old building so do not expect a pristine interior or swanky finishes. If all you are interested in is to have a place to clean up and sleep after a long day of sightseeing, then this is the place for you.
The air conditioner may be loud for those who are used to central cooling air system but truly, it is white noise. More importantly, it works just fine and was a real treat on one particularly scorching day! The sofa bed is quite spartan - when unfolded, one half was foam and the other was just hard board. So if you do need to use the sofa bed, perhaps bring along a sleeping bag for more cushioning.
Varun is a prompt communicator and provided clear instructions for check-in as he wasn't able to be there in person. He was also accommodating to my request for an additional family friend to join in on our stay on the last night.
