DO NOT RENT OR BUY HERE

...I rented a unit here for four years and it was pretty good for the first year or two. The aesthetics of my unit are gorgeous with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a huge balcony, open concept, and hidden appliances in the kitchen, which is what drew me to rent this unit. The location is also prime being steps away from an overpriced CityMarket, Shoppers, King and Spadina streetcars, and great dining, shopping, and entertainment. HOWEVER your day-to-day experience will be terrible. At least one elevator is broken all the time, the middle elevator gets stuck on a daily basis (terrifying), there are lots of AirBnB rowdy parties, the front desk people are friendly but generally loose about security and tenant concerns, there is no visitor parking, you have to pay for everything like booking the elevator or party room, and generally the quality is shabby. We had issues with the washing machine and fridge within 2 years, and noticed that window frames and finishings started to fall apart over time. You're much better off renting in a neighbouring property like 125 Peter St. for the same price...

...Why would anyone want to rent here longterm is beyond me. I'd lived here for 2 1/2 years. During my time as a tenant, I've encountered numerous issues. On an ongoing basis: 1) elevators being broke. i.e. waiting up to 5-10 minutes per elevator, especially during rush hours; 2) fire alarms blaring in the middle of the night, during the day, whenever; 3) loud neighbors due to this building being primarily short-term rentals/Airbnb; 4) garbage chute malfunction and people nonetheless leaving their trash in the garbage room; 5) shallow bathroom sink, so it gets messy quickly 6) poor structural engineering. The cracks in my ceiling are getting wider and deeper. It's an all dry wall. 7) cheap fridge that leaks. and be careful with closing; it slams easily and stays shut, making it impossible to reopen; 8) good luck baking. The oven doesn't have accurate temperatures. It is a dial where you have to guess the estimated temperature. 9) when it rains, silt from the balcony above falls onto yours; 10) in general, the units are tiny. Beware. The only plus is that it's in a convenient location and the front desk people are friendly enough...
