Excellent location and well appointed apartment. I highly recommend staying here. I would have given 5 stars, but they decided to paint the main stairs leading up to the apartment on the day we arrived. We needed to use the back door and go around the block to get to the main road. Not a huge issue, but annoying that we were not able to access King St directly during our stay.

Thank you for your kind words about the apartment and its location! We apologize for the inconvenience with the stairs being painted during your arrival - definitely not ideal, and we appreciate your patience. We’re glad it didn’t stop you from enjoying your stay and exploring King Street!
It is truly a beautiful property. The location is great as well. Just a note that the third bedroom does not have its own shower and needs to share with one of the other ensuites. Not a big issue for our particular party but might be an issue for others. Otherwise it was just perfect. Thank you!

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Lesley! We’re so happy to hear you found the property beautiful and enjoyed the location. We also appreciate the note about the third bedroom’s shared shower—while it worked out well for your group, we’ll definitely keep that in mind for future guests. We're glad everything else was perfect, and we’d love to host you again anytime. Thanks again!
Wow, this place is wow. The location is perfect. One in our party parked at the suggested parking garage (a stones throw from the house) and the others took an easy Uber from the airport. We walked EVERYwhere... shopping / amazing restaurants... everywhere. Even though you're on King St. and over a pub, you'll sleep like a babe. The pub closes early and the nightlife is far enough away that you're unaffected. The owner even has noise machines in each bedroom. Truly perfect for our long weekend away.

Wow, love the energy! So glad the location hit the sweet spot for your group and that walking everywhere made your trip super easy. Noise machines are definitely a game-changer - happy they helped you sleep like babies despite the lively King St. vibe. Thanks for the great review, and we’d be thrilled to host your next getaway!
Penthouse on King is fantastic! As beautiful as the pictures are, the apartment is even more spectacular. You can’t beat the location- just a short walk from most anything you’d want to do, in this fabulous city. The rooftop patio is beautiful for morning coffee and sunset cocktails. Our host David, was extremely accessible, and while we didn’t need anything, it was a welcome addition knowing we could reach him easily if we did. This was one of the best travel experiences We’ve had. Check in and check out were a breeze. There is no on site parking, but this isn’t a problem, because the public parking garage is about 1/2 block away. If you are on the fence, book this place…you won’t regret it!
