A toshi tale: From Their Home to Ours




One of the things that we pride ourselves on at Hotel Toshi is making our clients feel like they are entering a home upon arriving in a Toshi Loft or Apartment—not a stuffy hotel room.

We were so thrilled when Kim Watkins, her husband Brian Quill, and 8 month old baby Harper approached us to rent an apartment for a few weeks during their apartment hunt. When asked what brought them to Hotel Toshi, Kim and Brian agreed that they “ needed a place to stay between permanent homes, and the other places we saw on Craigslist were tiny and poorly decorated, so Hotel Toshi was a no brainer.”

We all know how uncomfortable that state of limbo can be of not having a place to call home, even if only for a couple of weeks. We wanted this young family to have a home to rest their heads at the end of a long day, a home for their beautiful 8-month old daughter to feel safe and comfortable, and a home we provided. In fact, “Harper even learned to sit up on her own in this apartment—so needless to say we will have fond memories of Hotel Toshi for that reason among many others.”

Kim, Brian, and Harper were the loveliest of people, and even though they did not find us until a couple of days before their desired move in date, we were able to accommodate them in a beautiful apartment at our new luxury building, Chez Toshi. Brian told me that, “after scouring Craigslist for weeks, dealing with 80 percent of scam listings, we found Hotel Toshi and cannot be happier with the accommodations.”

For the first night of their stay, the Watkins family actually shared our home at Hotel Toshi by staying in our Master Guest Suite. Their room was just across the hall from Toshi’s and that just sums up our mission—while one may be leaving home for business, vacation, or because a change of address is imminent, they are really just moving to a different home, our home.

Brian is the owner of a sound engineering studio called Flavorlab that has produced award winning music, while Kim also owns her own business, a personal training company called InShape (www.inshapellc.com). Needless to say, this young and entrepreneurial couple is hard working and successful with discriminating taste. Kim told me, “we had a unique situation with our baby daughter and no home for at least a couple of weeks, but you guys have made it great.”

We strive to provide all of the creature comforts that people come to expect and desire of their own homes, and we have always found this to result in a level of comfort that cannot be matched by a traditional hotel.

Sincerely,

Evan Kass
