Sonder at Artesa

Very nice apartment and quiet.

Apartment was was not clean when we checked in. We had to sweep the floors and wipe off counters. The porch was full of weeds, cigarette butts, and dirty.

it was clean! the view was breathtaking you could see the cn tower. the balcony was hugee and it’s was also great because they have everything you need in the kitchen. the staff are sweet you ask them something and they give you. i’d definitely go back there when i come back in Toronto. great experience!

the only thing that i didn’t like was the fact that for the bed in the living room there was no blanket. but it’s okay you can only ask the staff and they will give you. but it’s not a big blanket like the normal room. but the rest everything was perfect

We stayed for a week and the apartment was hands down the best accommodation we've had in Toronto so far. It was modern, clean and the bed was comfy (my children found the pull-out sofa good to sleep on as well). Facilities were fantastic and everything you could ask for. Staff were friendly and helpful. Being able to use the gym in the neighbouring building was a plus. The building itself or the main road aren't anything to write home about, but you only need to cross the street and you're walking right into the very charming neighbourhood of Little Portugal. For families with smaller kids: there's small Osler Park close by with a playground and a wading pool. A supermarket is close by (for celiacs: they have a good selection of gf food). We were lucky as there wasn't any construction going on anymore, when we were there, so for Toronto it was very quiet. Great accessability of public transportation: the bus that takes you to Dufferin metro station leaves right across the street. The streetcar station is a 10 min walk away on Queen St W (highly recommended: you see much more of the city, if you take the street car). As mentioned in an earlier comment it's recommended to buy tickets at the airport or a metro station upon arrival in Toronto, because you can't buy tickets on the bus.You can pay the fare on the bus, if you have exact change, though (on the street car you can buy tickets). All in all it was a brilliant stay for me and my family and we'll surely be back in the future.

- I wasn't impressed by the online check-in. It took me double the time it would have with a traditional check-in. Afterwards you're swamped with messages, some of which weren't up to date. This was confusing and I had to write to Sonder to clarify (the front desk responded quickly, though). The online process may seem modern, but it's not efficient. - The bar chairs at the table are trendy, but not comfortable for tall people. This was a minor concern, though

Very comfortable bed. Even though the building is on a busy boulevard and you can definitely hear the traffic on the terrace, once inside, the apartment is very quiet. Immaculately clean. There was a coffee maker but I used my travel press instead so the kettle came in handy. Two markets and wine shop nearby. West Queen West is a five minute walk and offers limitless shops, restaurants, bars, and cannabis, if that’s your thing. Excellent public transport. I felt very safe wandering around. Thanks for the huge terrace!

Everything is white. I understand white connotes cleanliness, which is important these days, but it was like living inside a giant marshmallow. White walls, white sheets, white comforter, white shower, white towels; would a gray focus wall have killed them? The glass half-wall in the shower is annoying. I’ve seen it in many upscale hotels and would personally like to consign the person who designed this stupid thing to a lifetime of chilly showers. Water pressure could be better, but I suppose that’s a city requirement. Not clear if there was a recycling program so I left the recyclables in the trash room.

The location is excellent with access to many interesting shops, restaurants and coffee houses. Walking throughout the neighborhood was enjoyable as it was safe with an ambience of peace and comfort. The staff are kind and helpful.

We were granted an early check-in, at an added cost. However, upon our arrival, at the set time, the room was not ready. Thankfully the charge for early check-in was cancelled. This was only a minor inconvenience. The cleaning staff were apologetic as was the front desk attendant. One could tell that the room had been hastily prepared.

Floor to ceiling windows created more space and airiness and a cute balcony area to enjoy coffee/tea. Kitchen essentials all available. Comfy bed and pillows. Easy self-serve checkin/checkout and easy to find location.

Building front door pin pad had trouble with entering ‘2’ (think it is over used) so would take some time to open the door and gain access. Not enough towels. We got only 1 bath towel but 2 floor mat towels. Lack of toiletries—not even cotton swabs. Not enough creamer for coffee (waste to brew 10 cups of coffee but only be able to drink two). Front door needs to be pulled shut, otherwise doesn’t latch&lock. Gym is in a separate building.

Walking distance to restaurants in the area , 5 min walk to the Grocery store. Apartment has modern amenities clean and in a quiet area. Easy to get to downtown.

Safety concern-Bath tub is too deep and with nothing to hold on to while getting out. A real struggle for a short person or elderly. Suggest an option for a walk-in shower within your facilities. I was scared of slipping every time getting out of the tub.

This was a great condo to stay in during a 4 day visit to Toronto. Easy to access public transportation to/from the airport as well as anywhere in the city. Superbly clean and bright one bedroom condo. Lots of wonderful restaurants on nearby Queen Street. Met our needs very well. We'd be happy to stay in this location again.

The only minor issue: we found the fan in the condo to be very loud - it ran constantly. There didn't seem to be a way to turn it off.

This place is fantastic and has all the amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. We stayed in apartment 901 on the highest floor, and the breathtaking view from the wrap-around deck was truly magnificent. The apartment is fully equipped with all essential appliances like a washer/dryer and dishwasher. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the entire place is immaculately clean. There are numerous excellent restaurants within a short 10-15 minute walk.

Really well furnished apartment, I could live there! Seamless checkin and checkout with the app.

The AC was somewhat cumbersome to make run as desidered, and the same applies to the app to open the building and room door. Having a parking spot in the building would be a plus, instead of the 8min walk to a paid location. There was not always a person at the entrance desk, to ask questions or help storing luggage after checkout.
