Urban Skyline

Close to where we needed to be near our son. Carpark useful.overall well maintained

Need better instructions on where to put rubbish, where towels were in dryer found on day 2. Bed in one room screws fell out. Front door lock needs repair. Need to leave more toilet paper . Fire alarm went off and on when we arrived. Took until about 0100 to get fixed and turn off.would benefit from a folder with information about rubbish etc.

3 fully separated bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 inside one of the 3 bedrooms), that was perfect because we were a couple + a family of 4. Well equipped kitchen too (even if we did not use it) and a secured indoor parking in the building (not included but not too expensive IMO)

Finding the right lock was a bit tricky.

Big place for the Location, beds were comfy and it came with everything you need.

Some details around the apartment needed some maintenance, like the shower door in one of the bathrooms came loose. Nothing terrible, and it was perfect for our stay.

perfect value for family trips!

a little bit dirty

The apartment is in a great location, close to the Kensington Market, the Queen's Park metro stop, and about a 20 minute walk from downtown. Several supermarkets nearby to buy groceries for breakfast. Comfortable beds, cosy interior and quiet neighbors. The kitchen is decently equipped for light cooking and provided basic utilities such as salt, pepper, coffee and tea. The bathrooms are rather spacious, with soap and toilet paper provided and even had a hairdryer. Also nice to be able to have a washing machine, iron and iron board as we were there for a work trip. Plenty of towels provided (although we had to search for them a bit since they weren't in the bathroom or on the bed when we arrived). WiFi worked well (though we had to ask the cleaner for the password).

- We had some issues with communication prior to our arrival - for some reason, no instructions for getting the keys from the lockbox showed up in our Booking.com app on our phones, nor in the chat on the Booking.com website on our laptops. In the days before arrival, we sent 3 emails via the email option in the Booking.com app (not wanting to call as we didn't have an overseas phone plan), but apparently none of those ever reached the host. Fortunately, the host picked up immediately when we called upon arrival at the apartment building, and sent his cleaner to come let us in. He also reached out to us on our last day with instructions where to leave the keys, so this was all solved well. Yet, this might be something to look into in case more guests have this technical issue. - The apartment could have been cleaner- there were still some hairs of the previous tenants in the shower and in the wash bin. Luckily, there were plenty of cleaning supplies provided, so we just did it ourselves. - Note that the middle bedroom has no windows, just a sliding door (no curtains). - The couch is ok, but wouldn't recommend staying here with more than 3 people unless you're sharing beds. - Right before we left the apartment, someone from maintenance stopped by to check the vents (announced on the bulletin board downstairs). It appeared that the insulation in the vent had been blown out by some upstairs neighbors in the building, and that if anyone had turned on the heating (fortunately it was summer and hot, so we never did) it might have caused a fire. This was of course beyond the control of the owner, and we were told the issue will be fixed immediately, but still quite scary to think about what might have happened.

The underground parking is actually a public car park. Need to get a ticket and display it on the car dashboard from the vending machine before you leave your car. My car was tolled away the next day without notice.
