The Good:
Location, cleanliness, communication with owner, comfortable and smart layout, balcony, security.
The Bad:
Check in: to pick up AND drop off the key you have to go to a Key Cafe at Queen and Bay. This is inconvenient especially if you are driving as there is no parking there.
Parking: notified by owner (the night before, after I asked) that parking may not be available if he had exceeded his monthly visitor parking allotment. He did say he'd reimburse me if I had to find parking elsewhere. I did get parking in the building.....it may have been helpful that it was the 6th of the month and not later.
Amenities: no coffee maker, no kettle, no ice cube tray, no pots, only one coffee mug, limited cooking utensils. I heated water in the microwave to make a cup of instant coffee (I brought the coffee). Drapes do not close due to a broken curtain rod.....limits privacy and makes it impossible to block morning light.
Bottom line: would not stay there again due to uncertain parking abilities and difficult check in due to picking up the key in an entirely different location. I found this stressful as I had limited time (1.5 hrs) for check in and to find parking. Some of this could have been related to the location and security reasons. I tired to save some money vs staying in a hotel. I achieved this but I am not sure this savings outweighed the inconvenience. I think next time I'll choose convenience over cost savings (within reason of course).
