Beautifully decorated apartment with very comfortable beds, centrally located in Stratford within easy walking distance if all Stratford Festival theatres. It was a perfect place for my spouse, daughter and I to stay while we attended the Stratford Festival. Brendan is an excellent host, highly responsive to messages. The only caveat I would add is that for anyone with issues with stairs, the apartment is accessible only via a fairly long flight of relatively steep stairs. I’d certainly stay again.
When you advertise your lovely condo, I do think you should mention that it has 37 steep stairs and no elevator. Both my friend and I are over 80 and in pretty good shape and it even wore us out getting our luggage up there. Your cleaning people showed up just as we were getting ready to leave and helped us carry our luggage downstairs. They were helpful and lovely ladies. I hope you mention this to them.
Lovely property perfectly situated near river, Tom Patterson theatre, and shops and restaurants. Kitchen stocked with tea, Coffee and spices. Property manager highly responsive and helpful. We have already recommended to friends.
Amazing rental. Beautifully decorated. A for bed and pillow comfort. Quiet. Location is perfect .You are able to walk to theatres, restaurants and ahopping. Lots of unique shops.Lots of steep stairs to get to the apartment. But worth doing the treck up those stairs. Would absolutely return.
Amazing location - right in the centre of things, facing the Avon River, walkability 10/10. Space was super clean, spacious, bright, and nicely decorated. 3 different ways to make coffee Beds we're comfortable, rooms were quiet. The only hurdle we're the double set of steep stairs to get to the unit - You want to make sure you have everything before you set out for the day. Great comms from host. Parking was a block away but the lot across the street is inexpensive and convenient. We would stay again.
I rented this suite for 3 friends who were going to be in Stratford to see two performances. I must have missed the part about the steps. The ladies are all older and doing 2 flight with luggage was daunting. When we finally go up to the suite, it was beautifully decorated and had everything they needed. The back bedroom has a king sized bed and the other bedroom a queen sized bed. With 3 single ladies it meant that one slept on the pull out sofa. The beds were very comfortable but the sofa was not. So if you need three separate sleeping spots this is an issue. The location is great for access to the town centre and close to the Avon Theatre and the Patterson theatre. Lots of restaurants and shopping close. Because of its location it has vehicle travel early in the morning.
