The Brunswick Suite was truly a home away from home. It was spacious, clean, and modernly furnished. The location can't be beat being right next to the famed Kensington Market. One could make breakfast in-suite (full kitchen sans dishwasher), seat 4-6 persons in the dining room for a takeout dinner, or try a different cuisine each day in the Market. Transportation (street car) was only 1-2 blocks away. We felt welcomed with all the small touches (filtered water and cold glasses in the fridge; plenty of towels in the bathroom). The rain head in the large glass shower was a treat. The large screen TV was a must for the hubby. We loved returning each evening to the comfort of this suite, and we would like to stay again.

We have chosen this ground floor two bedroom apartment for our family of 4. Rooms are very spacious with a living room, kitchen and dining room with high ceilings. A washing and drying machine is located in the bathroom and very helpful for us staying 4 nights.

All things are perfect condition, clean and provided. Location is perfect for us, easy walk to nearby Kensington Market, and to an Asian supermarket T&T as recommended by the apartment manager.

An excellent stay for group of 3-4 persons visiting Toronto. I’m glad to have found and chosen this place for our trip.

We had the most comfortable stay at the Kensington Suites. This home is just the perfect cozy and close to everything downtown Toronto has to offer. The owner is very friendly and takes interest in making sure we have a positive experience. He was always available to answer any questions. Can't wait to be back!

Days before we arrived, our reservation was cancelled out from under us. Their idea of a comparable replacement accommodation was completely unsuitable for our needs and not what we paid for. When communicating with their contact provided, he said, “Good luck getting your money back” to us. Very unprofessional and a blatant rip-off. Please be careful with this group.

A great experience (my second one actually) at this centrally located and professionally managed property in central Toronto. All rooms are very clean and well equipped for a comfortable stay whether you want to be indoors or out exploring. Uber's arrive within minutes which is convenient if you need to travel further. Everything one needs is within walking distance: food stores, pharmacies and walk-in clinics, LCBO/Beer store, so many restaurants and even clothing shops. Very close to University of Toronto where one can walk the grounds and enjoy the beautiful old architecture. My best experience so far for Toronto accommodation.

We had an amazing stay. The owners were so nice and friendly, and made sure to answer all the questions we could have about the city and such. The place is clean and looks exactly like the pictures; no unwanted surprises. The place was also perfect for the heatwave because the basement was always cool. The place is also really close to the Kensington Market which as everything you could want and close enough by streetcar, bus or by foot to the main attractions of the city. Overall, it was perfect. We had a great time, and are looking forward to go back soon!

The place is perfect, it counts with everything that is needed. The rooms are very comfortable as well as clean. The owners are really nice people and they can help you with anything that's in their reach. It's amazingly located since there're a lot of restaurants, stores and bars in the vicinity. You only have to walk two streets to find a variety of businesses.
