Magnificent Riverfront Victorian House steps from downtown Ottawa !

8/10 Good

"Large home worked well for eight 69/70 year old ladies with a view of the river from the deck along with lots of bedrooms/ beds and bathrooms. Nice large table in the main dining room to play games at. Smaller dining room has the only TV but view is obstructed by another dining table in front of the couch so IPads were used to watch college football games on. Cleaning lady missed cleaning out inside of frig along with removing a broken chair on the deck . Obtaining check in code was received later than stated."
