Staying at RivetStays - The Jarvis was an absolute highlight of my trip to Toronto! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the University of Toronto and right by Lake Ontario, making it super convenient for both academics and exploring. Everything I needed was within reach: great dining options, grocery stores, and public transit. The apartment itself is brand new with modern, stylish decor and spotless cleanliness throughout. Maintenance is clearly a top priority—everything works perfectly. I loved the self-check-in process; no waiting around, just grab the key and settle in.

I even whipped up breakfast in the kitchen and enjoyed it while gazing out at the city skyline at night—truly unforgettable. This place offers such a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. Highly recommended for students, travelers, or anyone looking for a premium urban stay.

An ideal overnight stop in Toronto. We found the hotel easily enough after initially walking the wrong way from the station—classic tourist move. The room was spotless, cozy, and had that modern vibe I love. Plus, the building’s location is fantastic—right in the heart of dining options, so we never had to go far for a good meal. One minor quirk (if you can even call it that): the frosted glass bathroom door looks sleek and contemporary, but at 5 a.m. during jet lag, flipping on the light felt like summoning the sun itself—my husband woke up instantly, startled by what he thought was dawn breaking through the room. Hilarious, really! We ended up using our phone flashlights instead, which worked perfectly. Overall, this stay was excellent—great comfort, smart design, and a convenient location. Would absolutely recommend and come back again.
