Beautiful Ottawa option

Review Submitted: 01/20/12
We are a family of four from Christchurch, NZ, and stayed 5 nights in Ottawa in early January. The property is just as the photos show, and was a delight to stay in. The fittings and accessories etc are all top of the range, and this would certainly be the place to stay for any gourmet cooks. Our culinary abilities were no match for this kitchen! The location is very good, and as we had a vehicle, the off-street parking was also a bonus. Highly recommended.

Four of us stayed here in May to attend a family wedding. Daniel was waiting for us on the doorstep and couldn't have been more helpful! The condo was very clean and presentable, and kitchen was very well desinged and appointed! It is close to everything (The little bakery/cafe across the street is a must!). The entire weekend went very smoothly and we couldn't have been happier :) Looking to stay again this year!

I would just like to thank you on behalf of our group. We found your home to be perfect for our four day adventure. We have stayed in many rental holiday homes around the world and your home certainly is top for quality and cleanliness. Our previous favourite was in Napier New Zealand and we did not believe this could be ever topped but you proved us wrong. We feal a special thank you should also go to Daniel, he is without a doubt the best ambassador or greeter that we have encountered, so please pass on our thanks to him.

We stayed at this condo for 5 nights during the middle of September 2011. As promised we were met upon arrival and shown everything we needed to know about the condo. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival and every convenience was in place - from towels, soap, tourist information to spices in the spice rack. We truly felt like we were at home during our stay. TV, internet connection and air conditioner worked flawlessly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and can wholeheartedly recommended same to to anyone looking for clean, quite, centralized accommodation in a charming part of town. The bus stop right outside conveniently took us to everywhere we needed to go in Ottawa. Groceries and other supplies can be found within a 3 minute walk. The pizza at the pub/restaurant kitty corner from the condo was excellent. When we next visit Ottawa, we are making a point to reserve well in advance to stay here again!

Three of us stayed in this well appointed and very comfortable unit in August 2011. Our stay was only for 3 nights but we would have liked to have stayed longer. We were met on arrival by Daniel who proved to be very helpful and available 24 hours per day should we have needed anything. The location of the unit on Rideau Street is perfect, close enough to the city to walk, or a bus is just outside. If you are going to Ottawa and want a great place to stay, then look no further, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Good location, lovely colours in the flat! Exelent air conditions and a nice place to sit outside.Tthe most impression to me was that the owners trustet those who rent the flat, all this nice cups, glasses etc. just like beeing in a very very nice home. Also very nice with Daniel that met us, and helped us with everything. Great stay! Gina Norway

This property is a find! The salon-like living and dining areas are beautiful and the decoration in every room is exceptional. Make dinner on the best and most varied equipment you'll find in any rental and serve it on china with crystal. Immerse yourself in the blue and yellow of Provence - c'est si bon.
Owner response:Our guests have expressed to us that we offer more amenities than they would ever expect and we have had numerous returning guests for that reason.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Review Submitted: 04/22/11
We stayed at this property for 3 nights in April 2011. It was exceptionally well equipped and clean. The owner has spared no expense, yet is relaxed enough to allow you to eat anything in the pantry and simply note if anything runs out. The bed was firm, the bedding was warm, and the internet was fast and reliable. Very creative use of space and bold design, too. A little street noise comes in the front from the big street, but the back is serene and safe (we slept with the window open a crack), and the dedicated parking spot a great plus. Being on a big street also meant that we could catch a bus to anywhere, but we mostly walked - Parliament hill is 2km down the street.
Owner response:The windows are triple pane glass and effectively block out the outside noise. There is air conditioning our guests control so no need to keep the windows open at night while sleeping. The parking spot is just outside the terrace fence so quite convenient.
Recommended for:Sightseeing.
It is as good as it looks!

For anyone looking for a home away from home while in Ottawa, this is the place! My friend, her daughter and I just came back from a week in Ottawa. We were out every day and found that we were always so happy to come back to this oasis of tranquility. Our favourite spot was the kitchen, although the rest of the place was great too. What a great collection of cookbooks to browse through and the kitchen is even better stocked than my one at home. We would pick up some food from the nearby grocery stores and specialty shops and just sit and chat in the kitchen. It is an easy stroll to the Byward Market shops and restaurants which makes it a fabulous location. Can't wait to go back to Ottawa again, and hopefully we can stay here again.
Owner response:It is a food lovers' paradise but it is also a great convenience to keeping your costs down so you can have more to spend on "fun" things like sightseeing and shopping. Eating out all the time can get to be quite expensive.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.
