Perfectly suited for our needs

The condo suited our needs very well: clean, comfortable, perfect location, and building gym and indoor parking were a bonus. The condo was as advertised. The hosts were generally responsive and pleasant. One issue arose with a difficult and delayed check in given miscommunication between the host and concierge/security. Once we were in, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you!

Your home away from home

I fell in love with the neighbourhood. It’s situated in a quiet corner on Harbord st. So convenient if you like to walk and explore Toronto’s suburbia with the convenience of proximity to the centre and the water front. Just a block away from Bloor Street, where you can shop eat and hop on transit. Christie station is an 8 minutes walk. The unit itself is fully equipped and feels so comfortable The owner or manager is lovely and approachable by email or call in case there’s any questions. I highly recommend it. And I know I will be coming back:)

Nice place to stay in Downtown Toronto

Unit is modern and clean. Host is very responsive, provided everything I needed, and very helpful with any issues. Easy check in process. Amenities like gym in building closes at night. Can get a bit noisy inside unit with sirens outside, loud cars, and neighbor next door doing construction. Hot water sometimes goes off and elevator doesn't work if there's a power outage. Visitor parking is limited in building and not always available. Overall good place to stay and host is very kind.

Enjoy our tastefully decorated living room

Incredible!

Beautiful, thoughtfully designed and organized condo in an unbeatable location. Everything, from the induction cooktop, ample wardrobe/storage space, cleaning supplies to crisp linens, feels like a treat to use. Most consumable supplies have also been thought of and provided, so it made the first few days (of my longer term stay) very relaxed as I got settled in. The space was immaculately clean when I arrived, so I felt immediately comfortable as well. I also never experienced any issues with noise, from neighbouring units or from traffic/people outside, even though it gets nice and lively on the weekends. The host is very responsive - super quick to answer any questions. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
