I think it is interesting that the above article gives what we have heard and call the Hope + Flower address and then says "listed online as the Level Downtown Flower building"...maybe I missed that at some point but I just don't remember ever seeing it referred to as anything other than the Hope + Flower buildings that are residences.
Not that it really changes much but after looking up Level you can see it is actually located in the Flower building only and is basically a hotel with furnished suites/extended stay offerings managed by Onni. I would also think that to boast so much security in a residential building that having certain areas designated to people staying for as little as a night would not make me feel very secure. Every luxury highrise with doormen to even just small apt buildings I have lived in did not have areas they rented out nightly nor would allow us to ever list our apts on AirBnB type sites as it is not safe.
I tried to once when I was going to be out of the country for a while and was hoping I could recoup some of my rent with someone else staying there. The building management told me that these sorts of residences don't allow this because it can be a safety threat to the residents and building community to have random people in and out of the building all the time, using its facilities, and having access to communal areas as opposed to a resident having guests visit while they are there. I do not think I would like to know that essentially any person off the street could book a room for a night where I live and would have access to all facilities that I use and pay for as a resident. That makes more sense to me why so much shady stuff goes on in that building and why there have been a lot of issues.
