I was attending a conference in Toronto and the Maple Leaf condo could not have been better. An easy walk to anywhere in central Toronto and a good grocery store and wine shop just downstairs. The view is even better than the photos. Wow. I look forward to staying again. Thanks!

Hockey Playoffs

I had an amazing time at this condo. The views, the building itself, the layout, the comfort... I could go on and on about this condo and how much I really loved it. It is literally close to anything, a walk away or if you are the cab type, they have cabs outside the building at all times waiting. Also, if you are a hockey fan as I am, the ACC (Toronto Maple Leafs rink) is literally right beside you and you have a view of it. Really cool Real Sports store locating in the building, as well as an LCBO, a grocery store and Real Sports Bar and Grille (amazing sports bar). I rented the condo because I had tickets to the Leafs game 3 of playoffs, there first home game of playoffs in 9 years! I was extremely happy with how close I was to the rink and the view off the balcony of the people watching the games outside the rink! This trip was an experience I will never forget, and I will rent this condo again in the future. If you are looking at renting a condo, do not pass this one up! It has everything you could possibly want and more! - Colin (Alberta, Canada)

We were extremely fortunate to find this condo for our Christmas vacation. Originally from Toronto, we have family scattered throughout the city core and from Burlington to Richmond Hill and this location could not have been better. From the subway next door to the highway down the block we had quick and easy access to everywhere we wanted to go. We made great use of the enormous Longos grocery store and had daily visits to the Starbucks downstairs. We walked to several wonderful restaurants in the area and took the subway to both the Eaton Centre and the Bloor Street shopping district. During those times we were not out and about we had plenty of room for all four of us (2 adults, 2 teenagers) to spread out and do our own thing. The condo was exceptionally well equipped and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the appliances, the linens and the furniture. We travel extensively and it is rare that I find the same equipment in a rental until that I would buy for my own home. We found the arrival and departure process painless and a detailed instruction guide proved very useful. The condo itself looked exactly as advertised, the kitchen was well equipped, the building was very well maintained, the parking garage was well lit and secure, the security presence was constant and the owner was very accommodating of our schedule. We would not hesitate to stay here again in the future and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a beautiful, immaculate place to stay.

Over-all an excellent condo. We spent 5 nights & found everything we wanted within easy walking distance. The condo itself was fully equipped, from all the essential staples, to the atmosphere of feeling as though you are at your own home. The building has every conveniance imaginable & is very quiet. The only down fall was that the pool area was shut down for maintanance, which we were unawhere of prior to arriving (a minor inconveniance). So much to see & do in the area, would not hesitate to return to this address.

Yes, it is as lovely as the pictures and its great location makes it even more of a jewel. I was there on business and this condo in Maple Leaf Square in downtown Toronto was very conveniently located near the Metro Toronto Convention Center, Union Square, the Air Canada Center, etc. A huge perk was a wonderful Longo's Supermarket, a liquor store, a sports bar and an upscale restaurant all within the building. Since Hurricane Sandy was visiting Toronto, it was nice not having to go out in the weather. Comfortable, convenient, beautiful views, clean, ....I couldn't ask for more! Thanks!

We were delighted with the condo. The location was absolutely perfect, allowing us to see much and get around without having to rent a car. The condo was so well equipped that we never ran out of anything (toileteries). We even had food extras such as spices, canned soups/beans etc.left in the cupboards for use if we wanted. Iron & board were great addition. Having blow dryer and washer/dryer was also a real bonus. I would not hestitate to recommend this condo to anyone. It was very clean, beds very comfortable and all in all a great home away from home.

No regrets. I truly believe we made the best choice in selecting this condo for our family vacation. Just about everything you'd want to see in Toronto is within walking distance. No need to rent a car. And without a car I can't tell you how convenient it is having a grocery store right downstairs, and plenty of restaurants within a couple of blocks. We also made use of the gym everyday, and the pool a few times. The freeway is nearby, but you're so high up that you don't hear the traffic noise at all. Great for young adults too. One of my sons (in his 20's) went back out on a few of the nights after the rest of us retired from our day's activities. He found nearby basketball courts (and people to play with), and bars/pubs to hang out at. The condo has a fabulous view, and was clean, well-kept and well equipped. We've stayed at lots of time-share resorts and rental condos, and this one was the most equipped of all, especially the kitchen. Check-in/check-out was convenient, and the property owner and manager were great to deal with. Of course I would highly recommend this condo for anyone visiting Toronto, but I would also like to make a couple more recommendations that I was glad to find: - Airflight Services - Less expensive than taxi fares, very prompt and friendly drivers, and you ride in a Towncar instead of a Camry or Prius. We used them for the airport and the zoo. - Chariots of Fire Niagara Falls Tours - A taxi to Niagara Falls would have cost at least $200 each way. For Chariots of Fire, we paid $60 per person round trip, and that included a few stops along the way, the Maid of the Mist boat tour, and narrated information and history by the driver. The only downside is that you have to walk about four blocks to one of their pick-up/drop-off locations.

This condo is the perfect home away from home. The owner has everything extremely organized and our trip was flawless. For anyone not knowing Toronto it is the best location possible. Walking distance to most downtown attractions, close to the Highway to get around Toronto, walking distance to Harbourfront. There is so much happening right there, including sports venue, grocery store and restaurants. The unit itself has everything you could possibly need. For us the most important thing is a comfortable bed and for that reason alone we will return. Highly recommend it

My friend and I stayed here for 18 days. The place looks just as plush as on the website it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, and had a really lovely atmosphere. The street was very quiet at night, and the position is great. Russ and Corinne were delightful and really worked hard to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. We'd certainly go back.The condo suite has an amazing view and it was great to have an own kitchen and the location is perfect for everything you want to do, because the central subway station is just a few minutes walk away! We would whole heartily recommend staying here to anyone looking to stay in Toronto. It's clean, it has everything you might need (wifi, ironing board with iron, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, etc.), any amenities you may need are located within the building itself. Overall, the ambience and vibe of the condo/area is wonderful. It is suitable for all ages with a wide variety of attarctions and nightlife within a few minutes subway/cab ride away. I can't wait til I can come back!

This condo truly gives meaning to the term home away from home! The condo is kept up at a very high standard. We've stayed at this property numerous times now, and always love returning to Toronto for it. The ease of having a grocery store, liquor store, Real Sports Bar all within the building....with the ACC only 10 meters away to watch my NBA Raptors play is nothing short then awesome. The owners are easy to reach should there be any questions or concerns. This gives peace of mind as travellers and guests in their condo. If you're coming to Toronto, do yourself and guests a favor and stay at this place!

This apartment was fantastic, from the facilities within the block (a pool/jacuzzi/gym for resident use, fantastic supermarket in the basement etc) to the facilities in the apartment itself (2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, telephone, excellent wifi). We stayed over the Christmas period and the only problem we had was that there was only one key. We were two couples (myself and my husband, and my parents) and didn't always want to be out/in at the same time.... Guest from trip advisor

We had the opportunity to stay at the apartment while in town for a few days to attend a wedding. The location was excellent for walking to a number of local attractions and also for getting access to Toronto auto routes. We really enjoyed the spacious feel of the condo, the chic furniture and the amazing views from the 35th floor. The building is very modern and tastefully furnished. Both bedrooms are well appointed and we could easily have shared the place with another couple. The unit came equipped with all the amenities anyone could think of. We made good use of the very modern fitness facility and the pool deck on the 9th floor. The grocery store, Longos, on the main level was huge with a very wide selection of top quality offerings, especially the deli. We would recommend this highly for anyone planning to stay in the downtown Toronto area for a few days.

Review Submitted 07/15/11

The website description was extremely accurate in describing the condo and its location. The location was perfect for our Toronto needs - close to Rogers Centre, the Harbour and Union Station. We were able to get everywhere that we wanted to be with minimal effort. We loved the Longo's grocery store - it was perfect for eating in without a lot of prep work. The owner's directions for getting to the condo were clear and simple to follow. We were a family of four (two kids aged 8 and 6) and found the place a good size for our needs. All in all, a very good experience and we would definitely return to the exact location on any return trip to Toronto.

Great location exactly as portrayed in listing. Other reviews (which I reviewed before selecting) have covered most of the high points already. Modern, spacious, great views, extremely well equipped kitchen, immaculately clean, very quiet, convenient location right next to Air Canada Center and with restaurant (E11even) and groceries (Longo's) right in building along with Hotel Le Germain. Great gym and pool. Outstanding alternative to a hotel, where you would also have to pay an additional $25-40/nite for parking, and 0-$15/day for internet, whereas all included here. You are provided with extremely detailed directions for everything to do with the property and its facilities, which is extremely helpful. I will be back!

We are from Toronto but currently live in Paris, so we needed a place to stay over the Christmas vacation. We decided to try out a condo so we could feel like we had a home while we were there. It was a great choice. The condo had everything in it that we could have wanted. Comfortable beds, soft towels, great living room space and an amazing view. We enjoyed the gym and the grocery store right in the building was very convenient. The "Real Sports Bar & Grill" in the building was a fun spot for eating.. voted #1 Sport Bar in North America for all you sports fans! The condo was close to the TTC, GO train and an easy walk to the Eaton Centre, which was great for our last minute shopping. Thanks for helping make this a great Christmas!

We had two visits to this property in August 2010 and simply couldn't recommend it highly enough. Starting with the location - right in Maple Leaf Square and adjacent to Union Station - it couldn't be better for holiday or business use. Easy to find and easy access by road, its a great location for traveling out to explore both Toronto City and further afield. Train, subway, bus and car hire (which is available in the building) are all within 5 mins of the front door. Ferry and pleasure boat terminals for access to the Islands about 10 minutes walk. Convenience stores, bars, restaurants all within minutes of the front door. The building has two swimming pools and gym which we used daily to relax after hard days sightseeing. The apartment is beautifully decorated, extremely well equipped and with spectacular views , just staying there was a real holiday treat, and as I say, a joy to return to at the end of the day. The owners were unfailing in their attention to detail (from their welcome / key process to brochures and guidance) and did everything they could to make our vacation completely hassle free. In short, we'd recommend this property without hesitation and would certainly use it again when we next visit Toronto.
