Winter trip
The place was comfortable with plenty of space and had everything we needed to prepare our meals. It was located near a shopping site. The one issue for us was that no one came to shovel the driveway for the place so I had to do it myself since the snow plow had blocked us in. Now there was a shovel to use but it was not the greatest one to use and I felt at times that it was going to crack with the wet snow. It would have been nice to have been informed ahead of time that no clearing service would be provided. Thankfully I was fit enough to clear enough for us to get out.

Hi Michael, Thank you for staying at Boardwalk Homes. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience. We understand your concern about shoveling snow, the big snow storm happened on the date of your check in, the whole city was slow down on snow shoveling/removal. Our contractor had so many clients to be taking care of at the same, and they were behind the schedules and work has been delayed. We supply shovel and salt for just in case guests need to get in/out sooner, so they can use the shovel. The huge packed ice-snow were eventually cleared on the date of your check-out.

When we booked there was no indication that I recall that this was a basement suite. Access stairs were steep and no window in bedroom makes me question whether this is a legal suite. No temperature control in suite - we froze for days. The bedding for the hide a bed was dirty and threadbare. This was promptly remedied by Boardwalk the next morning, but because of this our daughter’s first night was poor. Toilet plugged part way through and when I called about that they didn’t seem to be interested in finding a solution because “it’s Saturday”. Working toilets are pretty important even on weekends. We will not be returning.

Hi Bryce, We are truly sorry that you did not have an enjoyable stay in the unit. The 1-bedroom unit that you stayed is a walkout basement unit with large patio door facing the green area and a nice park behind the green. We also have other 1-bedroom units with entrance on ground level. Most of our guests like the walkout basement unit as it is our newest unit and bright. We have also provided a fireplace in the unit for guests to use in case they feel cold. For the toilet tissue blockage, our staff had in fact contacted one of the maintenance staff and arranged him to go to your unit that morning. However, the arrangement was cancelled as you reported 20 minutes later that the problem was solved. Once again, we would like to apologize for the experience you had. We sincerely hope you will come to stay with us next time and we can offer you 1 night free.

Nice little appt., a good space, had everything we needed, easy to get a hold of them for any problems, downsides the single bed was too firm and the kids running around upstairs. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

Hi, Thank you for staying in our 1-bedroom condo. Sorry that there is a slippage in the update of keycode in the check-in email as we have a lot of check-ins and check outs in early September with new school year around the corner. Though we do not have reception on site but we are able to provide you with the up-to-date keycode as soon as you call. Hope you understand that we change the keycode on each check-out to protect guests' security. We will look into the sofabed situation after current guests check out but this is the first time that we receive such feedback on the sofabed. Regards Doris

Hi, Great to hear that you have enjoyed the condo and its convenient location. We use duvet with duvet covers in our condos and all duvet covers and beddings are cleaned upon check-out. We could arrange housekeepers to change the beddings for you if you had let us know that the beddings were not as clean as you had expected. Hope to host you again in the future. Best regards

Some confusion upon check-in since we had listed two email addresses and the automated check-in system was unable to process this so we didn't receive any check-in info. We called the number provided and the staff were very helpful. Comfortable beds and well furnished. The location is a quiet housing development.

Beautiful but very thin sheet directly on mattress
Beautiful new accommodation until we got to the bedroom. Bad carpet stain at entrance to bedroom and carpet looked like it wasn't vacuumed (shag rug had very pushed-down pile and did not look fresh). But when we pulled back the bedspread we were shocked to see a paper thin white sheet that we could see through direct to the mattress foam! Any sweat/bodily fluids from previous guests would have gone through that sheet like a sieve and would be in the mattress. The sheet was so thin it would be like lying on the mattress! At 10:30 PM we were setting out to find a 24 hr Walmart to buy a set of sheets but to our relief we found an extra thicker sheet (for the sofa bed) in a closet which we used for our bed. While lying in bed it was notable that the curtain was very dirty. Unless these owners buy a nice quality mattress cover, and upgrade the paper thin sheets a little we won't be staying again, however, if they looked after the bed issues, cleaned the carpet and curtains, I would definitely stay again because it is a beautiful new 1 bedroom apartment. The owners know how to make it look beautiful, it just seems like they are not knowledgable about these important areas of cleanliness. Besides the bedroom, the place is very clean.
