You get what you pay for. This is not a 5 star property but it was 1/5 of the cost of a hotel for a family of 5 in Downtown Toronto. This is equivalent to an air bnb. Check in is done via email and over the phone. I checked out on Sunday morning and received my deposit back exactly 7 days later via PayPal with no hassle. The unit was not the one in the picture and had been flooded in the past and never repaired. The floor was damaged and the baseboards were swelling. The bed sheets were clean and the A/C worked
