We were hoping to save some money by going this route instead of a hotel for overall price and a kitchen, and we did save money! There is major construction happening next door, so that was loud, and no AC, though we did find a window unit in the closet that saved the day. There were also stand fans. There is a garage space included, but it is for a very compact car, so plan accordingly. Overall, the apartment got the job done. Amazing? No. Good enough, yes. We weren't in the room a lot. The kitchen was very well stocked for anything you might want to cook. You can walk to the grocery store (Lidl) in about 15 mins, so you can really save a lot of eating money. I would recommend a cheat sheet for the trash sorting- that was confusing! We were dropping a student off at Franklin, and they explained it to her, so that's how we figured out the trash. If you need a decent place with a full kitchen and 2 full bathrooms near Franklin, this is a good place. Bring a little car! Oh and stairs, you need to be able to handle stairs for this place. A cover for the sofa would be good too. It's mismatched and has some holes. ##### Susanna Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Chrome Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-Chrome-Montreal-Centre-Ville.h15845793.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Mosaic Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Mosaic-Suites.h35593864.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kamloops](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels.d3979.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie-Hotels.d1160.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Alt Hotel Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Toronto-Airport.h5178157.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Tobermory](https://www.expedia.ca/Tobermory-Bed-And-Breakfast.d59192-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cape Sounio, A Grecotel Resort to Live](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels-Cape-Sounio.h973998.Hotel-Information) > > [The Atlas° Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-The-Atlas-Hotel.h42412151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Parlee Beach Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Parlee-Beach-Provincial-Park-Hotels.0-l6195650-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d184-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dundee (DND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dnd/toronto-to-dundee) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Philadelphia (PHL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/phl/kelowna-to-philadelphia) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Sepang (KUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/kul/vancouver-to-kuala-lumpur) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yeg/vancouver-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Detroit (DTW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/dtw/saskatoon-to-detroit) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Pearson-Intl.d5921113.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Foz do Iguaçu](https://www.expedia.ca/Foz-Do-Iguacu.dx180997)
