Simple and clean place to stay.
Very nice and clean apartment. Both rooms were perfect for we needed lots of closet space and storage and a nice bed to sleep on. Good amenities and everything worked well. Only small issue we had was bathroom door didnt latch closed bit we used the matt to hold it shut and worked for us. Kitchen was nice and everything worked well and they had a nice little dining table for us. Over all great place to unwind and enjoy time not spent out and about with the family.

Ottawa stay
The unit we were assigned was not the unit pictured in photos. The bathroom door and frame were damaged in bathroom so you could not shut the door!! I reached out to the host regarding these issues and she was aware door would not close and stated they were going to fix it at a later date. The unit was not fininshed, lacked smoke detectors and provided minimal comfort. The couch was cheap and very uncomfortable and the washclothes provided were stained and nasty. Would not recommend this place.

Very clean and neat
The place was not accurately depicted as shown in pictures. There was no fire detector or fire extinguisher as the stove was gas. No outside pictures shown as this was actually located in an apartment building. Plenty of closet space, however no hangers. No complimentary hair dryer, ironing board or iron. Kitchen did not include and hand towels or dish clothes Bathroom door did not close. Would not recommend this place for more than an overnight stay
