8/10 Very good

I stayed here with my husband and 3 children. The reviews of location made me concerned- it is located up a narrow alley that is covered with graffiti and bins. It took some time to accurately find, the management were very responsive in helping. Turns out the location was fantastic- walking distance of vintage shops. Fruit market, multiple restaurants in Chinatown. We felt completely safe. The locks were secure and brand new (see other reviews) . The hearing was not working, we were dependent on a space heater that the management dropped over. Would highly recommend based on the location!!!!! Just around the corner, Jimmys coffee has the best coffee and croissants that I have had in a long time! Attached are photos of the area

Left stranded.

This place gave me no advance warning that they intended to cancel my booking until I was on site at 8:30 PM the day of. I was stranded out side in the freezing cold and had to find a last minute booking that resulted in paying exorbitant rates somewhere else. Hotels.com was a nightmare to work with but did decide to comp the stay, however I have only been refunded about 2/3 of the total cost.

8/10 Very good

The reviews were very scary, so we were skeptical about this place. When we first arrived, they gave us a room that only had a mini fridge and a microwave; however, the ad shows a kitchen and we brought stuff to bake. we called them and complained as we payed for a unit with a full kitchen and they moved us to another unit. The other unit was dirty and not cleaned yet and so we called and told them that and they moved us to another unit which was very clean and exactly like the pictures. The entrance to the place has a bunch of graffiti, which we didn't mind; we actually took pictures in front of it. It is in Kensington marketplace so yes its not the most safe spot but we didn't experience anything, especially since we didn't walk around; we just took an Uber right from the apartment and returned in an Uber. If you are with a group of friends, you should be fine. The lock on the main door seems broken, but I don't understand why that matters since the apartment doors all have proper locks. If you are staying here with 5 people, you will get the unit with a mini fridge and a microwave and a living room that is a separate unit in front of yours. If only 4 people, I would recommend this place; just ensure you call them if you're unsatisfied; their customer service is pretty good. Also, there was hot water for us. and dont use the water heater thing; ours had mold inside.

The room we were given was filthy and had not been cleaned from previous Tennants. No sheets towels soap or toilet paper. Dirty sinks beds counters and floors. They ended up giving us another room that was clean but one that didn’t meet the bed requirements for our party.

This is a SCAM! Do not book HUGE scam! It’s in a back alley that not even the uber knew where to leave us. It smelled horrible we left immediately bc we felt unsafe. The door would not lock properly. There is NO kitchen! Complete lie! We are currently submitted a claim to my credit card company. Please Expedia take this down!

I wanted to like this place. It is in Kensington Market, downtown walking distance to locally owned restaurants and businesses. The TTC is a few blocks away, making the rest of the city easily accessible if you don't want to drive. That is where the positives stop. The customer service is extremely poor. There is no one on site so if you have an issue, such as we did, you will never see anyone resolve it; just message after message that they will look into it. The electricity was shut off on our second day. The property owners knew as we found the notice on the door. They did not tell us in advance. Had we parked our car in their garage, we would not have gotten it out as the ELECTRIC door wouldn't open. The apartment is absolutely freezing & never gets warm despite requests to turn up the heat. There was no thermostat in our unit, we were told repeatedly it was in the one above. So the guests above us got to decide the temp in our unit. The floors are all tile, so they are freezing, ALL THE TIME. The bathroom is a wet room which is not a problem however after a shower the entire room is soaked in condensation due to the freezing cold air mixing with the hot shower water, floor is covered in COLD water due to the lack of heat and no lip on the shower surround to keep the water somewhat contained. I highly recommend that you do not stay in this apartment in any cool or cold weather. We left the accommodations early as we could not bear the cold in the apartment any longer.

DO NOT RENT THIS. It looks nothing like the pictures. The building is run down. The key pad to access the building is just a decoration, anyone can just push the door in and access it. Lots of homeless people around. When I walked in the lights of the building didn’t work, and there was graffiti on the walls. It looked like a trap house. This looks like a place people cook meth in or get kidnapped. I didn’t get any of my money back and I paid a lot for this. It was such a scam. I would hate if this happened to someone else.

Do NOT stay here. I cannot stress this enough! You have to walk through a dark alley to even access this place. There are homeless people and drug addicts sleeping around the building. It is covered in graffiti, inside and out, and there are needles and garbage outside. I have never stayed anywhere like this before. We got in super late and had to go up a narrow staircase and it was pitch black in there. The were doors that didn’t lock properly and my daughter said the outside looked like the scene of a horror movie. It is NOT safe. It was too late to do anything that night and the next morning we woke up to NO power at all in the room. The management (who you have to call, there is no one actually on the premises) said it would be on by that afternoon. At that point we said we were leaving and they refused to give any money back. We left anyways, and Expedia finally sorted it out for us. This whole place is a scam. You could not pay me to go back there. Stay far far away!

Property was a great size. Cozy beds. However you could not adjust the temp and it was set at 15°C mid November. There was a space heater but it didn’t heat enough for the size of the unit. We all slept with sweaters on

I got to the place and it was not the same as the listing. I could not stay in the place and contacted them to cancel my booking. Outside the property is where homeless people sleep. I can go on and on. The point is do not book this place ever. We have been contacting them to refund us. The no. They have is a call center and they will just give you a run around. They refused to give us a refund even if we did not stay there. DO NOT BOOK HERE!

Front passcode secured gate was broken (appeared to have been for awhile), the room front door locked into a worn out hole in the frame (no bracket and clearly signs of abuse), WiFi only worked in one room which b/c my data was sketch in CA meant I had no internet in the living room. I reported these things and after a week nothing was done. Did have someone show up to my door because of poor communication on their end but he didn’t even recognize I existed…immediately called front office without even talking to me. Providing something relatively secure and recognizing I exist are kind of baseline for me. Glad I’m out.
