Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Steps to Queen Street West's Shopping, Arts, Bars and Clubs) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
A cool condo with everything you could want for an urban getaway!
Whether you're just shopping--on Queen Street West, Toronto's mecca of hip and only seconds away--taking in a festival, or taking advantage of the neighborhood's legendary nightlife, it doesn't get more convenient than this.
Compact but with more than enough space for anything you need (and much larger than a hotel room!), the unit is decorated in high style, complete with dark hardwood floors, groovy designer furniture, stainless steel appliances, granite counters and west-facing floor to ceiling windows, plus a sunny balcony to watch the sun go down and the city come alive. The separate sleeping area is divided from the kitchen and living area by a floating wall, so the place is best for a couple or two good friends. Unit is professionally cleaned and spotless for every guest.
The apartment is furnished with all the toys you need, from high speed WiFi to a HD flat screen TV and DVD complete with surround sound and an audio jack ready to plug in your MP3 player or laptop.
Building is a modern, 3-year old boutique condo set back on a side street just a stone's throw from Queen Street's shops and restaurants, and minutes from subway and streetcar transit. Most major downtown hospitals are also within walking distance. It's nearly impossible to be this central without staying in a hotel!

The Epicenter of Hip: Stay in the Middle of Queen West Action
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Toronto
As world travellers who call Toronto home, we always appreciate the city's energy, multiculturalism and music and arts scene when we come home from abroad. We love eating out and going out, so we bought what we thought was the ultimate location for someone who wants to really explore the city.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The condo is almost brand new, funky and in an incredible location--so central to the Queen Street shopping, bars and restaurants that you practically walk out the door and you are in the middle of things. It's a rare spot for a residential condo--there is almost nothing else quite like it location-wise...street noise is surprisingly almost nil despite being only a few doors north of busy Queen.
Note that you don't really need a car here, as there is so much within walking distance. The subway is a couple of blocks away, and you'll never wait more than 30 seconds for a taxi right out front--at any time of night or day. An ideal location for the Toronto Film Festival.
Legendary dingy live venue has hosted everyone from the Rolling Stones, the Band, Police, Ramones and Willie Nelson to The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo and Skydiggers
