19 Yonge and Church Apartments Perfect
location, right on the doorstep of everything. Very comfortable
apartment, recently refurbished, a very well equipped kitchen.
My daughter and I felt very comfortable and safe both within the
apartment building and walking about the area. The Staff were very
friendly and helpful especially Carlos, the caretaker, especially
when I locked up at the end of our stay and locked my hand luggage
in the apartment and didn't notice until after I had posted the
keys through his letterbox!

Hello Martyn,
We in a group of 5 had five days stay at 20 Theatre District Residence This
was first experience of ours to stay in a rental apartments. We enjoyed
our stay at this place. The reception staff was very good. We shall
on every occasion prefer to stay with your group. On the suggestions
part we felt that the hall sofa should be sofa come double bed as it
was not comfortable for 5th person to sleep on this sofa.

Hi
Overall our stay at the apartment in the 21
Downtown Residence was a very pleasant one. A
few comments / recommendations:
- Our Garage remote control had a flat battery. I would recommend checking
them before issuing to new renters.
- Internet access. I know that internet access is available at an extra
cost option, I think the access should be included in the rental price.
- The Cleaning service was efficient and did a good job
Other than that I enjoyed our stay and would recommend renting an apartment
instead of staying in a Hotel to anyone that asks.
Best regards,

We stayed in Toronto for two weeks in July 2006. Our apartment was
on Bay street in a 21 Downtown Residence It
was a one bed apartment We were really pleased with the apartment
in general, but as there was three of us we had to use the sofa bed
was a little uncomfortable. It was clean, and there was plenty of warm
water and a fully functioning kitchen. It is ideally located downtown
and just two blocks north of the Eaton centre and 2 mins walk to subway.
The management of the building were extremely helpful. I would recommend
this.
I would definitely recommend this apartment.

The apartment 21 Downtown residence was
of a very good standard as was your internet booking system. We will
use your company again and certainly recommend you too friends
Thank you

Good location 20 Theatre District Residence, and
we were impressed with the cleanliness and appearance of the reception
area and elevators at all times. The apartment itself was clean,
comfortable and well maintained offering ample space for a family of
three adults and a teenager. We tend to choose self-catering
accommodation for our holidays as it means we can choose to eat in
or out as we please and this is where our negative comes in. Although
the kitchen was very well equipped with the larger items e.g.
washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher etc. it was lacking with
the smaller items which we all take for granted when preparing a meal
- insufficient pots, no chopping board or colander, no proper grill
tray or oven glove and the larger knives weren't too great. These
would just have been the finishing touches to an otherwise super apartment. The
apartment was cleaned and beds changed twice during our two week stay
and that was a huge bonus. We all enjoyed our first trip to Toronto
and would not hesitate to recommend it. We would also give strong
consideration to using your company for another trip.

The website is Very clear and detailed...layout is ok
I hope you would expand in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and
Rio de Janeiro...where a professional service like yours would fill
a gap
I stayed at 19 Yonge and Church Apartments property
in Toronto, apt. 607 and I loved the apartment, its level of comfort and
incredible location. I now intend to explore several European cities with
your apartments as a base!

Hello, I would like to let you know that I was very pleasantly
impressed with our accommodation 19 Yonge and Church Apts during
our stay in Toronto. I found the apartment spacious, bright, well furnished,
clean and quiet. The location was very central, as described on your
website -- we had everything we needed within 5 minutes walk. The staff
was helpful and the check-in/out process was very much a painless affair. Considering
the quality of your service in Toronto I will definitely
keep you in mind when time comes to book accommodation in another
city in the future. Many thanks for making our stay enjoyable. Best
regards, Melanie Dillon

We had a great time in Toronto, and it was nice to be in an apartment
instead of a hotel room. 19 Yonge and Church Apts Apartments
were in a great location, just a few blocks from the subway, and
right around the corner from two wonderfully fun, hopping neighbourhoods. With
an internet cafe and great shops right on the same street, it was
a wonderful experience. My only suggestion is that the kitchen
might have a few extras, such as tin foil wrap and can opener. There
were two pots, a frying pan and utensils, so the basics were there,
but the couple of extra items, like tin foil and a can opener, would
have been very helpful. We're guessing that perhaps guests
sometimes pocket those types of items and that's why they may be
missing from some units. However, what was there was outstanding. There
was a strainer, toaster, and baking dish, a great carving knife,
so we had to reach to think of any way to improve what we got for
the money. And in every way, the Apartments beat the heck out
of a hotel. Finally, I have to say that the management staff
were outstanding. The building superintendent was very visible
around the property -- we ran into him in the laundry room, lobby,
front drive -- Carlos was always busy, and always very friendly. The
office management was likewise friendly and helpful, even helping
us out with change for the laundry machines downstairs. We
were quite taken with the people there. I discovered
quite by accident, though, that the office management staff often
do not receive our contact information from apartments2book. I
mentioned to the office staff that if they needed to reach me, not
to call the phone in the apartment, but to call my cell phone. They
said they didn't get that number from the booking. When I'm
relying on these people as my direct support during my stay, I'd
like them to have all my contact info -- it's far more important
to me that they have it than apartments2book. So I suggest
that the booking agency make it a priority to get our contact info
to the on-site support staff. They are far more likely to need
my contact info during and after my stay than the booking co. Thank
you for asking for feedback. Sorry this rambles a bit, but
that's for my lacking the time to edit it properly. Feel free
to contact me again if you have any questions. Marie Clear

We had a really great time in Toronto. The two bed apartment which
you booked for us at 19 Yonge and Church Apts was
really lovely and very central. We were surprised by the spaciousness
of the apartment and it was spotless. The toilet was leaking when
we arrived which was on good Friday and when we contacted the caretaker
the problem was looked after immediately. All staff were very professional
and helpful and I will be recommending these apartments to any of
my friends
going to Toronto and hope to use your services in the future.

was well-situated, quiet and nice to stay. Some problems
occurred with the wireless connection which I wasn't quite
satisfied. I give 9- of 10 points.

Hi Martyn
The apartment is lovely. 18 The Toronto
Collection Very warm and cosy. The location is excellent as
it's located in the middle of the city centre with easy access to the
underground rail system. My stay in the apartment was in winter. As
there's a bookstore, grocery store and movie theatre on the concourse
attached to the building, it was nice moving around without the winter
gear.
I'd like to thank the staff at apartments2book for their assistance
during the entire reservation process. I was grateful for the prompt
service as
I unfortunately waited until the last minute to book.
I only have 2 negative comments. The springs in the living room sofa
are tired. It would not hurt to have it repaired or replaced. The bed
is a bit
sunken in the middle and will soon need to be changed.

Nice pictures of the apartments available for rent.
I would like to thank Maria for helping with our reservation. the 19 Yonge
and Church Apts in Toronto Canada is a nice place to stay at while
in Canada, not only because it is a very clean and nice apartment with kind
and friendly staff but it has a convenient location which gives you easy
access to places to see in Toronto, we booked 2 units with my in-laws and
my brother in law commented that he will definitely stay again when he come back
to Canada

Hello,
We had a great time in the 19 Yonge and Church Apts. The
building was well maintained, clean and secure. The reception
staff were helpful and we had no problems checking in on a Saturday
evening. We were very pleased with the size of the bed-sit flat – it
had room for a sofa, dining area and a balcony. The location
was great for us – close to the subway and local food shops. Checkout
was straightforward too. All in all, we were really impressed, and
would definitely use your services again in the future!
The only comment I would make is that maybe a ‘welcome pack’ would
be useful – so that an essential cup of tea could be made without
having to wander jetlagged around the shops!
Thanks

I have been very pleased with my accommodations at 19 Yonge and Church Apts. I
would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a furnished suite. The
property is well located and the staff have been attentive and helpful. I
have been extremely comfortable there.

I was thoroughly impressed and pleased with the ease of booking through
your website as well as the check-in on arrival in Toronto.The staff
were most accommodating, helpful and friendly. The accommodation
at 20 Theatre District Residence was
clean, comfortable and the location for downtown Toronto was superb
- waking up every morning with views of CN Tower, Skydome and Lake
Ontario beyond set the mood for an enjoyable day - albeit February
in sub zero temperatures! My only tiny disappointment was that there
was no tea pot or cork screw for the wine! (the concierge helped
here). Otherwise an excellent location and facilities. I am planning
on being in New York with my family for four days in August this
year and due to the quality of your service, I am planning
on booking accommodation through your company once again.

I stayed at the 9 Eaton Apartment Residence. Toronto, which was very enjoyable. The location is very good,
with a splendid view of downtown Toronto from the roof. Accommodation
was very comfortable. The facilities, which I made good use of,
were excellent and the staff pleasant. Their rate was also very
reasonable, and I highly recommend it. My only complaint is that
there weren't enough kitchen utensils.

Dear Martyn.
I am happy to give you feedback on our stay at the 1 Bay Street Apartments.
On arrival we were told that we had been upgraded which we thought
was very nice.
When we were taken to our apartment we saw that we had 2 double rooms
and not a double and a twin as I had reserved.
When I went down to reception I was told that the apartment I had booked
was not available and that the Hotel could not guarantee any specific
apartment even though I had the email confirmation from you which I
showed to the Reception manager.
After a lot of negotiation on my part the hotel agreed to bring up
a complimentary cot (camp bed) for the night and replace the double
bed and the cot with 2 single beds the following morning. This they
did at midday. Prior to the beds being changed on the Friday morning
I called your office and left a message asking you to call me. You
did not return my call.
When our bill came after 10 days the “complimentary” cot
had been charged for but on being reminded that it was complimentary,
they then took it off the bill.
We found out after several days that we were not on the floors called “Residence” at
all but were on the floor below and were part of the hotel itself.
This meant that we had indeed been upgraded and had full maid service
every day where she even emptied the dishwasher for us, clean linen
and towels every day and a newspaper.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there again.
I can’t tell you what the “Residence” apartments
were like as we didn’t stay in one but the laundry room was made
available to us and the daily maid service really added to our feeling
we were on holiday and was a real plus.
Parking at the hotel was good and easily accessible.
Yours sincerely,
Julia Curitz

Hello Martyn
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Toronto at 20 Theatre District Residence . The
property was ideally located with all the necessary amenities one needs when
travelling. My only constructive feedback was that the walls of the apartment
were badly marked in places (where suitcases and the like have knocked the
walls).

We recently stayed at 20 Theatre District Residence.
The Apartment was in a residential apartment block 2 minutes walk from
the CN Tower and Skydome. There were loads of wonderful restaurants
just round the block. We could not have asked for a better position.
Although a car parking space was provided a car is really not
required in this apartment block and Taxis were always available .Although
the apartment was not spotless it was a great size with two double
bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first evening it did seem very noisy
due to the entertainment area it was in but we soon got use to it and
now home seems so quiet. Considering we were in the centre of a large
City we felt really safe at all times.
As no staff from the company work in the building you have to use the
free telephone to ask any questions but this was more than adequate
and the service we received to book a people carrier back to the airport
(due to all our purchases) was really good.
One week in Toronto was not long enough and we are now saving for a
longer trip in 2007.
We would not consider staying anywhere else other than in this apartment
block and would not hesitate to recommend apartments2book.

Apartment was OK 4 Bloor West Apartments Suites.
We asked for a two bed apartment but they only had 2 one bed apartments,
though they were adjacent so that was not to much of an issue. Rooms
were clean and well serviced though kitchen equipment was poor. With
two rooms we had two kitchens, between them one oven, one microwave
did not work. We chose not to raise it again since we had the other
kitchen to use, though it was inconvenient at times. Also one of the
fridge kept turning off. So all in all our summary is good though kitchen
equipment in general needed attention. Pool was very good. Ian

There was no grill pan provided, which made it impossible to cook
any meat. We had to go out and purchase a frying pan as we like to cook rather than go out every night to eat.
Our apartment in Toronto 20 Theatre District Residence was
very spacious and clean. It was well furnished and fitted out
to a high standard. The location was excellent. Lots of restaurants
nearby and the CN Tower only a five minute walk away. We would definitely
recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home.

Dear Martyn Lawson
Thanks for your mail. On the whole, we were delighted with the accommodation
provided by your company. 20 Theatre District Residence is
ideally placed to see downtown Toronto at any time of day or night.
We felt very well looked after and everyone from the concierges to
the maids, were helpful and friendly. The building too has excellent
facilities with the roof terrace and gym and the atmosphere was great:
living amongst locals really made us feel a part of the city.
A couple of things would have made the experience completely perfect:
1) the apartment was rented to 5 people but towels were provided for only
4 people.
2) it would be good to supply some basic cleaning products e.g. dishwasher
and washing up liquid, cloths, and detergent.
We will certainly use your company again next time we are looking for
accommodation abroad!
With best wishes

We recently stayed at 1 Bay Street Apartments. It
was larger than expected, very clean and in good repair. As it is the
on the upper floors of the Hotel, all of the hotel services are
available, including shoe shining. It was an incredible value for a
large two bedroom apartment in the centre of Toronto. The reservations
staff was very accommodating and worked hard to find the apartment
that suited out needs.
Highly recommended.
