  My son in law and I spent 4 wonderful days in Toronto watching 3 Blue Jays games and one day of golf. Rocky and Steve's condo was the perfect place to start and end our very busy days. The views are breath taking, so much so one does not even mind that the bedroom window coverings do little to block out the light. Who cares with that view!! I've stayed in VRBO homes all over the world and this is the first one I can remember that the hosts make their entire home open and available to their guest. Wine, coffee, fresh fruit, peanut butter for your toast, bathroom amenities...you name it if it's there go ahead and use it.Amazing amazing hosts.I would definitely recommend this home to anyone. Thanks so much Rocky and Steve! We are already planning our return trip!

  My husband and I spent 11 days at this wonderful property for our wedding anniversary and we had a delightful time. The first is that the city of Toronto is amazing. It is truly one of my favorite cities in North America. It was our second visit, but because of the location and time we allowed ourselves, we got to see so much of it. The location of Rocky and Steve's place cannot be beat. While you do have to walk 2 1/2 blocks to catch the train, their condo is very centrally located in a happening and safe part of the city. The view from the condo is incredible, as mentioned by every other reviewer. You cannot see the CN Tower from it, but you can see the water as well as 2 other sides of the city. Rocky and Steve are lovely men who were more than happy to make us as comfortable as possible. They checked on us by email repeatedly and they went out of their way to help us come up with ideas to do outside of the city. Rocky even made a surprise visit by knocking on the door (even though it was his place, he didn't want to disturb our privacy) of the condo and then giving us a lovely bottle of wine for our anniversary. It went well with the cheese we had purchased and the rain we saw from the 30th floor windows. The first night our plane was delayed and we didn't get into the condo until nearly midnight. We had not eaten but, because of their welcoming demeanor, we knew that Rocky and Steve would not mind if we ate something of theirs. I know others have gone on about the candy closet, so I will not, but suffice it to say, we enjoyed the treats a lot. My husband also enjoyed the espresso coffee maker. It was not a big deal to us since it was just my husband and me, but do take note that there is a TV in the master bedroom only. Also, if 4 people rented there is not really much space in drawers to put your belongings. Again, for us, it was not an issue since we left our things in the second bedroom, hanging in the closet and on the bed. It was nice to go back to the condo at the end of each day, as opposed to a hotel (where we nearly stayed), and to wake up to privacy and space. Overall, we heard little noise, much less than most hotels, and were able to rest. The bed is very comfy, by the way. Overall had a really enjoyable time at the condo and in the city and would love to return soon. In fact, we are film buffs and would like to attend the Toronto Film Fest next year. Here is hoping we can make it.

  We stayed here for a week in march to get away from the hotel route but we never expected the stunning settings, space, furnishings and treatment which was given throughout our luxurious space in this gorgeous condo in the sky. Owners indeed take true pride in ownership and ensure a seamless stay for their guests. House was stocked with the best of furnishings and groceries/bar items, sleeping arrangements were super comfortable and memorable and daily maid service by the sweetest lady in Canada was a cherry on the top. We highly recommend this place for families. Views are stunning from every inch of this place. Thanks guys and all the best!!!

  My family of 4 was thrilled with the rental. It was spacious & clean, fabulous view, location was great & great to have work out facilities & parking. And as a mother I loved that a care-taker stopped in every day to tidy kitchen, bathroom, dust the floors & check on laundry. Market, shopping & restaurants nearby, building staff was fabulous. We prepped small meals in the apartment-sized kitchen which had pretty-well all the basics you'd need. We spent most of our time taking in the city and visiting friends. It was the extra, unexpected items that were included once we arrived that pushed our experience to the top. Cookies, wine, chocolates, espresso and unlimited bathroom soaps, shampoos. Lovely towels & bedding, great decor and did I mention the view? Our hosts were gracious, trusting & charming & worked to accommodate our every request. (They even forgave an accidental breakage and small kitchen accident, which other rentals would not have.) Go back? Hell, Yes! Shhhh ...would even leave the kids at home next time : ) The only think missing was that Rocky & Steve weren't there with us. xo

  Stayed here for 2 nights and proved to be a great choice. The flat was very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The owners were more than generous by having a fully stocked fridge, freezer, fruit bowl and probably the best mini-bar I have seen. We were told to make ourselves at home and help ourselves to anything FOC. You can't say better than that. The free WiFi was great too. On one balcony you can watch the sunrise, and on the other the sunset. The views were spectacular and I would challenge anyone to find better views in Toronto especially when it's dark and all the skyscrapers are lit up. The owners were very helpful and accommodating and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment to others visiting Toronto.

  I was travelling on business and needed to be away from the convention hotel atmosphere and this rental did the trick. The furnishings were lovely, the proximity to the convention was not bad, and the neighborhood and building residents were nice. The very best part of this experience was the care and attention to detail that the host took with my reservation, and how much they paid attention to me during my stay. I would have missed my plane but Rocky called to let me know that my flight times were different than I thought! I looked forward to the daily housekeeping services as more a chat with a friend then anything else. My advice is book this one you will never regret it!

  Every time we arrived through the door the views took our breath away. Views of downtown and Lake Ontario were great day and night. We could walk to a grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shop, and The Keg steak house. A few more steps and we were on Church St for so many food choices. Free, secure parking or the Concierge will call for a taxi, it was there in moments. Our 9 year old grandson was with us, he felt at home yet was in awe of all the details. The building security was very reassuring. Rocky was very kind to check on us to make sure our arrival and stay were going well. Rocky even helped us make our travel plans and resevations for the next leg of the trip to make sure it was a vacation to remember. If ever back in Toronto or have friends going there we will contact Rocky.

  Over the years we’ve rented condos/apartments throughout Europe. Rocky & Steve’s condo is the best in terms of space, grace and style. The reviews below fairly describe our visit – everything we experienced was just as reported! The view is breathtaking. During our stay we simultaneously saw the full moon reflecting off the lake and the urban nightscape; not a bad way to enjoy a glass of wine after a hard day of touring. The basics are certainly met. The beds are comfortable; the AC works as does the dishwasher and the washer/dryer. The amenities were beyond our expectations and certainly above our experience. While the unit is well stocked, there are also grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants nearby. The city center is perhaps a 30 minute walk and the Royal Ontario Museum is 20 minutes. We found this very doable, but taxis were cheap and readily available. We had an exceptional stay. Thanks much.

  We were looking for a rental where all the family could enjoy our time together without being in a basic hotel room with limited space. As you enter this newly built condo you are immediately inspired by the design and effort that went into this unit to make it so beautiful and still very comfortable. The views of the city are so clear and awe inspiring that you could just sit there and view all the sights of the city, especially at night. The hosts of the unit had the refrigerator completely stocked, right down to designer jelly beans! Rocky and Steve the owners made sure all our needs and questions were handled before we arrived, and were more then happy to give restaurant suggestions, where to shop and great entertainment ideas. Top of the line furnishings, very comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, all bathrooms fully stocked with amenities I suppose the downside to this unit was that we had to leave this beautiful condo and return to reality. Thank you so very much Rocky and Steve

  We think people have already summed this place up below and we could not agree more with all the accolades. I was MOST impressed with the interaction during our inquiry and these guys cool attitude towards strangers they have never met before. Whole booking process was so smooth and there only asked for half the deposit and asked to be paid remaining only after we get the keys and settle in on arrival. We found it very reassuring as sometimes places do not turn out as advertised but this place cannot be captured in pictures as one feels you are surrounded by miles and miles of gorgeous unobstructed views. Furnishings are Top of the line and we also loved the linens:-) also were very impressed with there complete trust in us and no deposit was collected and they did not even bother to inspect the place on departure. Really incredible hosts and have to mention the friendliest housekeeper Lieselda who came daily and not only freshened up the joint but also checked on all our needs and even ran to the florist to pick us flowers as we were running late for our relative in the hospital. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! God Bless you all and don't change as they do not make them like you guys anymore. It is not a typical rental property as they live here and rent it only when they are globetrotting. Very Proud Canadians who told us that they do not do this for $ but more for the non Canadians to come and see the beauty and hospitality of there town from the Bird's View. There is no way one would be able to stay in a Hotel after experiencing this condo. To all who are interested in staying here, Hope that they are also planning a trip out of town same time:-). Last trip for fellow travelers, you can pretty much come here with a backpack as they have stocked the place with everything one needs on the road (beautifully designed & stocked bar was also left at our disposal to use which is an incredibly generous gesture!) undeniably, This is as Good as it Gets!

  We came from vancouver with our family for a wedding and consider ourselves extremely lucky to find this unit. It was amazingingly gorgeous and location/building/hosts could not have beeen more perfect. A bottle of wine was awaiting us on arrival and these guys thought of everything ahead to make our stay so memorable. I was a bit nervous as they wanted to know about us before confirming the booking but now we know that they are very selective with the people they rent it to as it is a gorgeous space and they do not lock away anything. We loved the views, maid service, lighted globes and the decor. Highly recommended and we will be back for sure if they will have us again..

  Traveled with my two children to Toronto and the place was perfect. Although I was concerned about one of them breaking something…my daughter felt like a princess and well my 6 month could not tell the difference but he was fascinated by the blue cushions. The hosts were amazing and checked up on us even on their holiday. Not to mention left a full kitchen which made it so welcoming upon arrival especially since we had flown over 14 hours. I highly recommend this flat and if we do come back to Toronto we will be visiting again if they will have us.

  Stayed with my wife and a kid at this condo 1 week ago and it is really spectacular. Views are just amazing and it is so beautiful to read a book and watch snow fall for miles ahead. Place was spectcular, furniture was very high quality as they said, maid was courteous although she was not needed and building was awesome. Never had to take a cab and spend a lots of time enjoying the views. Thanks guys and will see you sure in summer.
