Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Condo definitely felt neglected. Dust and dirt on baseboards and door frames. So many things falling apart. Holes in doors, knicks and scratches all over the condo. No glassware. Was hoping for a nice glass of wine in our penthouse rental… but had to drink out of coffee mugs. Didn’t love that the door was left unlocked when we arrived. Didn’t feel safe. Way over priced for what we got. I feel mislead with the listing. Wish I had booked a proper hotel. One good thing was the view. But unfortunately would not book again and wish I could get my money back.

Cleaners were super friendly, I’d say the place is definitely slightly banged up, one of the lamps was bent and the island table had some dents from the chairs but in a place like this your really paying for the view. I think it’s probably the best view of the city in Toronto and the GTA. Definitely recommend. Overall I’d say it was a great stay and would definitely stay here again.
