Walk to the Falls, Aquarium, Restaurants, Casinos and Canada

This is a little gem nestled in the heart of Niagara Falls. It's within walking distance of all the attractions, yet somehow feels away from it all at the same time. It was cozy, clean and comfortable, and had some good space to spread out. Martin is a wonderful host. Being a 'local' himself, he could recommend places to visit that aren't always in the tour books! He was also VERY flexible and accommodating with our check-in and check-out times. All in all, I highly recommend a stay at this sweet apartment!

A big thank you to Martin, he was helpful and a real sweetheart!

I hesitate to write this review only because I would like to keep this place as our own little secret get away. But in fairness to our host, who was so welcoming, I will share our experience. We loved being able to walk to the falls. Our kids liked being able to ride their bikes and scooters there, too. It's about a 2 walk block through the neighborhood then a little less than a mile along the gorge to get to the main observation area. I could rave about how great the falls and all the attractions were, but those reviews can be found elsewhere. The house was cozy and well equipped. We comfortably slept 4 adults and 4 small kids. The bedrooms were plenty big enough for cots (available in the house) and cribs (we brought). The kitchen was adequate and we ate all our meals there or packed food to eat at the falls. Everything was clean and well kept. Martin (our host) was very available, thoughtful and accommodating. I really can't say enough good things about him. I felt like I was visiting an old friend! We thought the neighborhood was fine. There is no longer a boarded up house across the street as another reviewer had noticed. We locked things up when we left as we would anywhere, but I think I also felt safer because the host was on site in the apartment upstairs. In fact, our children played with some of the neighborhood kids and other neighbors greeted us as we made or frequent trek to the falls. At then end of our stay I was sorry to say goodbye to Martin, his neighbors and of course the beautiful falls!

Very much enjoyed our stay at Martin’s place. Incredible location for Niagara Falls sightseeing, truly a few blocks from the action. Comfortable home with amazingly hospitable host. Martin goes out of his way to ensure that you have absolutely everything you need. Some reviews said area is a bit sketchy but I felt totally safe and comfortable- we even walked to the falls to see the night time lights. I highly recommend this Home. Thanks Martin for a very nice stay at this incredible attraction.

We spent two nights visiting the sights in Niagara. Martin met us and showed us around the house (he lives upstairs) and gave us tips for things to do, see and places to eat in the area. He is very friendly and helpful. He has also added room air conditioners to the bedrooms so it was easy to keep a comfortable temperature and the beds were comfortable as well. Overall, it was a pleasant visit.

While we didn't have any issues; the one negative surprise was that the neighborhood is a little sketchy. Other than the strip of tourism related businesses along the Falls, things are in general run down with abandon houses, and buildings even right across the street.
