Overall Ratings & Reviews GLOBALSTAY. Modern North York Condos

It isn’t nearly downtown

Well equipped kitchen. Excellent location. Registration process was a nightmare. Having to do everything on-line ourselves was not easy. Trying to locate lock boxes was frustrating and stressful. Locating correct Parking Garage was an odyssey. After leaving keys in condo, could not access parking. Instructions should include: Go to lobby first so they can let you into parking. Overall, it was a very stressful one night stay for two seniors.

Instructions for check in were inaccurate to some degree and qr code didn’t work in parking garage(no cell service). Beyond the rigamarole, clean comfy place. Check out was less of a hassle (simply leave keys on kitchen table) but then parking level was not accessible from elevator. It’s a long way to walk to car when you’re hauling a bunch of stuff by yourself.

Great place to stay for our family sightseeing in Toronto. Love the convenient location of the subway station below the building. Beautiful home and enough beds for everyone. Would certainly recommend this place. It’s just a little complicated getting the key and fob but not impossible. Had to call the phone number for a little help but they were extremely nice and helpful. Overall great experience

Pro: location, amenity, space Con: check in, no concierge

This was by far the WORST rental experience I’ve ever had. There’s absolutely NO communication, no concierge, no person to talk to, just cold, useless texts. They give zero instructions. You’re left to dig through hundreds of lockboxes just to find your keys. Once I got in, the place was filthy. The toilet was clogged, and when I contacted them, they told me I had to fix it myself! The bedsheets, blankets, and pillows were covered in stains and again, they told me I had to change them myself because the clean ones were sitting in the dryer. That’s disgusting. No one had even inspected the place before handing it over. I couldn’t even stay a full hour i left immediately and booked a hotel. This place is a joke and should be removed from Expedia. DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY.

Really nice place and a great view

After a long drive with tired family just think of accessing the key fob in the lock box like a fun escape room adventure. Your reward is a nice place to sleep!

Property has an amazing city view!

Decent property, okay communication, bed was old and spring loaded that popped at night.

The condo was as advertised. It was clean and all the amenities were provided in the condo. I did not have time to explore the pool or gym. North York is an excellent neighborhood/location. There were numerous good food choices - - especially Asian ones, and the subway stop was below the building. Someone from Globalstay is not at the property when you arrive. But the instructions to retrieve the key and fobs were reasonably clear [with photos], and I was able to check-in after hours without issue. There was a homeless man sleeping in the garage between the doors so be careful. I was initially a little leery when communications were via WhatsApp, and I needed to place a $200 CAD deposit via PayPal after paying through Expedia. However, everything worked out, and Globalstay refunded my deposit in 7 days after assessing there was no damage to the condo. I have relatives in the area and would return. I have also recommended Globalstay to other family members as a great option.

Nice place to stay in the area

Electric sockets in the room were not working.

we arrived later then we expected due to unforseen circumstances, so the only thing missing from the check in instructions was the code to enter the building on yonge street to access the elevator to get down to the parking garage and retrieve the keys from the lockbox. we had to call the concierge to let us in after proving the other instructions we had to enter. i would say the parking situation is a bit difficult. i imagine if u were on your own with a car parked inside 2 anndale building, once u put back the key in the lockbox in the yonge street building there is no way to enter back into the 2 anndale parking lot without a fob to retrieve your car. based on the reviews from others this is the most difficult annoying part of the stay. Other than that everything was great!

Very difficult to get admittance to this apartment location. The communication and procedures where so difficult we won’t be coming back to this property and have us a bad taste to want to rent our apartment units through these kind of platforms.

Not enough signage directing where everything is. Only one fob and only 1 parking spot for 3 ppl, had out of towners. also u couldn’t use the jacuzzi or sauna with one fb since there is everything locked and needs 2 fobs to get in from the men’s and women’s change room. Was frustrating!

DO NOT BOOK WITH GLOBALSTAYS. They are a scam. Disgusting!!! Upon arrival I noticed that the bed sheets had bloodstains and dirt/blood stains on the duvet. I took photos and sent it to their email the next morning. I also found MOLD on the shower curtain. A day later I start noticing I have bed bug bites. Following that day I am covered in bed bug bites. I tried to request my money back and they refused. Luckily Expedia deemed this unit unlivable and relocated me to a hotel near by. At the end of my stay I got an email from GlobalStays and they charged me $80 for the stained bed sheets and duvet!! DO NOT STAY HERE.

The first floor of the building is a Whole Woods so that made it really easy to not need to go out for every meal. Parking was included. I would say the only issue was checking in as you need to just park on the road and figure out how to get into the building to collect the key fob and apartment key.

Issues with the property not resolved quickly

it was very close to the highway for getting around the city
